Publisher Summary In motor control studies, recordings of the kinematics and dynamics of movement can be employed at a high level of sophistication. These techniques have been applied for research, for the study of pathophysiology and for diagnostic purposes. In clinical settings, their use is still restricted because they are expensive, time consuming and require skilled technical personnel. Another reason is that better insights into movement kinematics are often not critical for differential diagnosis or therapeutic decisions. The situation is going to change as rehabilitative strategies and procedures become more specific. The previously used qualitative or semiquantitative scores are increasingly complemented by electrophysiological and kinematic recordings. Kinematic techniques will therefore be required for both the study of normal motor behavior and for restorative neurology. Neuroimaging techniques are providing new insights into brain function. They produce high resolution, spatial information about brain structure and functional activation states during a broad range of cognitive and sensorimotor behaviors. In contrast to the highly sophisticated imaging techniques, the assessment of behavior is often poorly controlled. For motor control, this is partly because of the restricted mechanical conditions for measurement in the scanners or to interference with the magnetic devices. This chapter gives an outline of the most commonly used kinematic recording techniques and their methodical backgrounds. The major emphasis is put on the analysis of upper limb movements.
