ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To establish the concurrent validity, acceptability, and sensor optimization of a consumer-grade, wearable, multi-sensor system to capture quantity and quality metrics of mobility and upper limb movements in stroke survivors.DESIGN:
Single-session, cross-sectional.SETTING:
Clinical research laboratory.PARTICIPANTS:
Thirty chronic stroke survivors (age 57 (10) years; 33% female) with mild to severe motor impairments participated.INTERVENTIONS:
Not Applicable. MAIN OUTCOMEMEASURES:
Participants donned 5 sensors and performed standardized assessments of mobility and upper limb (UL) movement. True/false, positive/negative time in active movement for the UL were calculated and compared to criterion-standards using an accuracy rate. Bland-Altman plots and linear regression models were used to establish concurrent validity of UL movement counts, step counts, and stance time symmetry of MiGo against established criterion-standard measures. Acceptability and sensor optimization were assessed through an end-user survey and decision matrix.RESULTS:
Mobility metrics showed excellent association with criterion-standards for step counts (video r=0.988, P<.001, IMU r=0.921, P<.001) and stance-time symmetry (r=0.722, P<.001). In the UL, movement counts showed excellent to good agreement (paretic r=0.849, P<.001, nonparetic r=0.672, P<.001). Accuracy of active movement time was 85.2% (paretic) and 88.0% (nonparetic) UL. Most participants (63.3%) had difficulty donning/doffing the sensors. Acceptability was high (4.2/5).CONCLUSIONS:
The sensors demonstrated excellent concurrent validity for mobility metrics and UL movements of stroke survivors. Acceptability of the system was high, but alternative wristbands should be considered.Palavras-chave
