Writing generation model for health care neuromuscular system investigation

Abstract

In this paper the use of handwriting for health investigation is addressed. For the purpose, the paper first presents the Delta-Log and Sigma-Log models to investigate on the handwriting generation processes carried out by the neuromuscular system. Successively, a computational system for handwriting analysis is presented and some considerations are exploited about the use of the model to investigate insurgence and monitoring of some neuromuscular diseases. The experimental results show the validity of the proposed approach and highlight some directions for further research. © 2014 Springer International Publishing Switzerland.
