Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria for all participants: Healthy controls, pwsMS and stroke patients * No orthopedic or neuro-muscular impairments in the upper limb * Age > 18 years * Able to understand and execute the test instructions * Perceived pain in one of the upper limbs of more than 4/10 (Visual Analog Scale) * Able to move a joint (wrist, elbow or shoulder) in the upper limb against gravity without resistance (Medical Research Council) (16). Inclusion criteria for PwMS: - Diagnosed with MS using McDonald criteria (17) Inclusion criteria Stroke patients * First- ever single, unilateral (ischemic or hemorrhagic) * At least one month after stroke * No apraxia or hemi spatial neglect

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria for pwMS only: * a relapse 3 months before the start of the study * A change of symptomatic medication during the testing period Exclusion Criteria: - People with predominantly ataxia or tremor are excluded from the reliability part of this study

About this trial

In the sponsor's words

This study has 3 aimes: 1. To investigate the feasibility of using IMUs (Xsens, MVN Studio) during functional tasks to assess upper limb kinematics in pwMS and stroke survivors. On the one hand, the feasibility of performing the tasks will be investigated . On the other hand, does the XSens give valuable data? 2. To investigate the discriminative validity of kinematic measurements of upper limb movements post-stroke and pwMS in comparison with gender and age-matched healthy controls 3. To investigate the test-retest reliability of the kinematic parameters collected during the different functional tasks in pwMS and stroke survivors It is a cross-sectional case-controlled observational study, with 3 different groups: 25 Persons with Multiple sclerosis, 25 stroke patients and 50 healthy controls, matched by age and gender.
