    Abstract
    The focus of the work program is on the best possible integration of empathokinaesthetic sensor data in biomechanical models. Concretely, degenerative motion impairments of the hand are recorded by EmpkinS and reference sensors and the date is integrated optimally into the mathematical formulation of the optimal control problem, depending on the data type, measurement frequency and uncertainty, etc. Through movement tracking as well as via the prediction of movement, objective biomarkers are identified for healthy or impaired movement function.
