Abstract Tracking tasks are increasingly used to quantify eye/limb co-ordination and control, especially in patients with neurological disorders. However, the usual measures of a patient’s performance take no account of the movement strategy employed. Two new approaches to the characterisation of tracking by disabled patients are therefore developed: one based on probabilistic modelling techniques, the other on the theory of fuzzy sets. Although applied here to hemiplegic stroke patients, the work is of potential interest for a wide range of human movement studies.
