Non-Linear Modeling of Motor Development in Typically Developing Children and Youth Aged 5-18 Years Using Robot-Based Behavioral Assessments.

ABSTRACT: Clinical tasks are often used to differentiate the motor performance of individuals who have impaired function. However, these are not as accurate and repeatable as robotic tasks. Additionally, motor development occurs rapidly at early ages and slows as they reach adulthood, resulting in a non-linear model of performance. There is also evidence that variability in performance changes as children and youth age. Accurate normative models of performance are necessary to identify deficiencies in motor performance and to track the efficacy of therapies. This work aimed to create normative models of motor development based on robotic assessments in typically developing children and youth. Two hundred and eighty-eight participants who are typically developing (ages 5-18) completed a robotic point
