The ability to judge "good" gait from "bad … The ability to judge "good" gait from "bad" gait is valuable when assessing the outcome of an orthopedic surgery, the rehabilitation of a stroke patient, or the ability of an older person to live independently, among others. Mobility assessment is commonly performed based on observations of the patient performing a few tasks. The patient performance is scored by an experienced observer with the help of questionnaires. A fundamental problem with this assessment is that it is very subjective to the observer.
Several researchers have investigated the use of 3D motion capture (mocap) systems to extract objective measures of gait parameters, and derive a quality of gait index (QoGI). Unfortunately, these systems are complicated to use and very expensive. As a result, they are only used for research purposes and not used in most clinical settings.
Accelerometers are small and cheap sensors which can be used to measure a number of gait parameters anytime, anywhere. The goal of this project is to collaborate with medical personnel in order to devise a cheap and easy to use measuring system using accelerometers; and to create a QoGI which will facilitate the assessment and treatment of mobility challenged patients at the clinic and at home.
The project is funded by Stiftelsen Promobilia.roject is funded by Stiftelsen Promobilia.
