RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: Functional movement assessments are routinely used to evaluate and track changes in mobility. The objective of this study was to evaluate a multimodal movement monitoring system developed for autonomous, home-based, functional movement assessment. METHODS: Fifty frail and prefrail adults were recruited from the Brigham and Women's Hospital at Home program to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of applying the multimodal movement monitoring system to autonomously recognize and score functional activities collected in the home. Study subjects completed sit-to-stand, standing balance (Romberg, semitandem, and tandem), and walking test activities in likeness to the Short Physical Performance Battery. Test activities were identified and scored manually and by the multimodal movement monitoring system's activity recognition and scoring algorithms, which were previously trained on lab-based biomechanical data to integrate wearable inertial measurement unit (IMU) and external red-blue-green-depth vision data. Feasibility was quantified as the proportion of completed tests that were analyzable. Accuracy was quantified as the degree of agreement between the actual and system-identified activities. In an exploratory analysis of a subset of functional activity data, the accuracy of a preliminary activity-scoring algorithm was also evaluated. RESULTS: Activity recognition by the IMU-vision system had good feasibility and high accuracy. Of 271 test activities collected in the home, 217 (80%) were analyzable by the activity-recognition algorithm, which overall correctly identified 206 (95%) of the analyzable activities: 100% of walking, 97% of balance, and 82% of sit-to-stand activities (χ2(2) = 19.9). In the subset of 152 tests suitable for activity scoring, automatic and manual scores showed substantial agreement (Kw = 0.76 [0.69, 0.83]). CONCLUSIONS: Autonomous recognition and scoring of home-based functional activities is enabled by a multimodal movement monitoring system that integrates inertial measurement unit and vision data. Further algorithm training with ecologically valid data and a kitted system that is independently usable by patients are needed before fully autonomous, functional movement assessment is realizable. IMPACT: Functional movement assessments that can be administered in the home without a clinician present have the potential to democratize these evaluations and improve care access.

In this paper, we study the problem of segmenting tracked feature point trajectories of multiple moving objects in an image sequence. Using the affine camera model, this problem can be cast as the problem of segmenting samples drawn from multiple linear subspaces. In practice, due to limitations of the tracker, occlusions, and the presence of nonrigid objects in the scene, the obtained motion trajectories may contain grossly mistracked features, missing entries, or corrupted entries. In this paper, we develop a robust subspace separation scheme that deals with these practical issues in a unified mathematical framework. Our methods draw strong connections between lossy compression, rank minimization, and sparse representation. We test our methods extensively on the Hopkins155 motion segmentation database and other motion sequences with outliers and missing data. We compare the performance of our methods to state-of-the-art motion segmentation methods based on expectation-maximization and spectral clustering. For data without outliers or missing information, the results of our methods are on par with the state-of-the-art results and, in many cases, exceed them. In addition, our methods give surprisingly good performance in the presence of the three types of pathological trajectories mentioned above.
