Abstract

This paper is a commentary to introduce how rehabilitation professionals can use a new, body-worn sensor system to obtain objective measures of balance and gait. Current assessments of balance and gait in clinical rehabilitation are largely limited to subjective scales, simple stop-watch measures, or complex, expensive machines not practical or largely available. Although accelerometers and gyroscopes have been shown to accurately quantify many aspects of gait and balance kinematics, only recently a comprehensive, portable system has become available for clinicians. By measuring body motion during tests that clinicians are already performing, such as the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) and the Clinical Test of Sensory Integration for Balance (CITSIB), the additional time for assessment is minimal. By providing instant analysis of balance and gait and comparing a patient's performance to age-matched control values, therapists receive an objective, sensitive screening profile of balance and gait strategies. This motion screening profile can be used to identify mild abnormalities not obvious with traditional clinical testing, measure small changes due to rehabilitation, and design customized rehabilitation programs for each individual's specific balance and gait deficits.

移动实验室用同步穿戴式传感器评估平衡和步态。
本文是一篇评论,介绍了康复专业人员如何使用一种新的、可穿戴的传感器系统来获得平衡和步态的客观测量。目前临床康复中对平衡和步态的评估很大程度上局限于主观量表、简单的秒表测量或复杂、昂贵的不实用或大量可用的机器。虽然加速度计和陀螺仪已被证明可以准确地量化步态和平衡运动学的许多方面,但直到最近才有一种全面的便携式系统可供临床医生使用。通过在临床医生已经进行的测试中测量身体运动,如计时起身和行走测试(TUG)和平衡感觉统合临床测试(CITSIB),评估的额外时间是最小的。通过提供平衡和步态的即时分析,并将患者的表现与年龄匹配的控制值进行比较,治疗师可以获得平衡和步态策略的客观,敏感的筛选概况。这种运动筛查特征可用于识别传统临床测试中不明显的轻度异常,测量由于康复而产生的微小变化,并针对每个个体的特定平衡和步态缺陷设计定制的康复方案。
