| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aimed to improve the understanding of the acquired neurological disorder called agraphia (can read but cannot write characters), and to invent a new clinical assessment for the disorder. We had two achievements. First, we provided new quantitative measures which can reflect the symptoms of agraphia patients more accurately and intuitively in terms of motor control theory. Second, using those measures, we made a software application which can easily assess writing disorders in clinical circumstances.
