Abstract
The article explains the principles and goals in creating a computer-based system for the measurement of psychomotor functioning, its functionality, and user interface. To illustrate the capabilities of the system, the results of analysis of the selected psychomotor tests performed in different groups of patients are presented. The usefulness of the presented tool in the quantitative study of psychomotor functioning is assessed.
