Assessing of Motor Performance in Stroke Using Body Worn Sensing

  • Conference paper
Replace, Repair, Restore, Relieve – Bridging Clinical and Engineering Solutions in Neurorehabilitation

Part of the book series: Biosystems & Biorobotics ((BIOSYSROB,volume 7))

Abstract

As a part of the EU project INTERACTION, a modular and unobtrusive body worn sensing system has been developed for the objective assessment of capacity and performance of body balance and arm movements. Performance and capacity measures were proposed and clinically tested in stroke subjects and results were compared with results of frequently used clinical tests. First results show a discrepancy between subjects’ ability to use their affected side as evaluated with clinical tests and their actual performance during daily life tasks.
