Abstract

Falls are common and dangerous for survivors of stroke at all stages of recovery. The widespread need to assess fall risk in real time for individuals after stroke has generated emerging requests for a reliable, inexpensive, quantifiable, and remote clinical measure/tool. In order to meet these requests, we explore the Functional Reach Test (FRT) for real-time fall risk assessment and implement the FRT function in mStroke, a real-time and automatic mobile health system for poststroke recovery and rehabilitation. mStroke is designed, developed, and delivered as an Application (App) running on a hardware platform consisting of an iPad and one or two wireless body motion sensors based on different mobile health functions. The FRT function in mStroke is extensively tested on healthy human subjects to verify its concept and feasibility. Preliminary performance will be presented to justify the further exploration of the FRT function in mStroke through clinical trials on individuals after stroke, which may guide its ubiquitous exploitation in the near future.

使用功能到达测试的实时跌倒风险评估

跌倒对中风幸存者在康复的各个阶段都是常见和危险的。人们普遍需要实时评估中风后个人的跌倒风险，这就产生了对可靠、廉价、可量化和远程临床测量/工具的新要求。为了满足这些要求，我们探索了用于实时跌倒风险评估的功能到达测试（FRT），并在mSstroke中实现了FRT功能，mSstroke是一个用于卒中后恢复和康复的实时自动移动健康系统。mStroke是作为一个应用程序（App）设计、开发和交付的，该应用程序运行在一个硬件平台上，该平台由一台iPad和一到两个基于不同移动健康功能的无线身体运动传感器组成。在健康人身上对脑卒中中的FRT功能进行了广泛测试，以验证其概念和可行性。通过对脑卒中后个体的临床试验，初步表现将证明进一步探索脑卒中中FRT功能的合理性，这可能会指导其在不久的将来的广泛应用。

期刊介绍： The overall aim of the International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications is to bring together science and applications of medical practice and medical care at a distance as well as their supporting technologies such as, computing, communications, and networking technologies with emphasis on telemedicine techniques and telemedicine applications. It is directed at practicing engineers, academic researchers, as well as doctors, nurses, etc. Telemedicine is an information technology that enables doctors to perform medical consultations, diagnoses, and treatments, as well as medical education, away from patients. For example, doctors can remotely examine patients via remote viewing monitors and sound devices, and/or sampling physiological data using telecommunication. Telemedicine technology is applied to areas of emergency healthcare, videoconsulting, telecardiology, telepathology, teledermatology, teleophthalmology, teleoncology, telepsychiatry, teledentistry, etc. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in telemedicine, applications, and their supporting technologies, for both application development and basic research. Papers should emphasize original results or case studies relating to the theory and/or applications of telemedicine. Tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of telemedicine, are also welcome. International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer-review process.
