Zariffa<\/h4><\/strong>\nThe restoration of upper limb function is usually rated as the top priority by quadriplegic individuals. In order to develop effective new rehabilitation interventions and improve outcomes, it is important to measure and track hand function on a regular basis throughout the rehabilitation process. Because of the enormous complexity of the human hand, creating sensors that can accurately quantify its function is a significant technical challenge. We are developing systems based on wearable cameras and machine learning that can be used to track hand and upper limb function throughout the rehabilitation process, from the clinic to the home. This information can then be used to develop individualized and responsive rehabilitation programs.\n\nPublications:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Bandini, M. Dousty, S.L. Hitzig, B.C. Craven, S. Kalsi-Ryan, <u>J.
