Learning-based methods for the analysis of intralimb-coordination and adaptation of locomotor patterns in cerebellar patients

In this paper, we present learning-based methods for the analysis of the spatio-temporal characteristics of multidimensional movement trajectories. We show the application of these methods in two studies analyzing the influence of the cerebellum on intra-limb coordination and adaptation of gait for cerebellar patients.
