Abstract

Patient progress in rehabilitation after stroke is measured with standard clinical assessments. In questionnaires or test settings a therapist encourages the patient to perform a set of tasks. These tasks typically do not match what the patient does in daily life. To measure the upper limb function in daily life movements, a sensor-based system has been developed. The study investigates, with a full body sensor-based system the difference between standard clinical assessments and daily life monitoring. Four stroke patients were included in the analyses. A change in arm use during rehabilitation and the difference between clinical assessments and daily life measures were observed rendering the latter as potentially more sensitive candidates for outcome measures.

This study was part of the INTERACTION project, which was funded by the European Commission under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7-ICT-2011-7-287351) and the P&K Pühringer Foundation.
