SENSORS
Maintaining a physically active lifestyle outside of provided rehab services is difficult, but is more difficult to monitor. This project looks to see how wearable activity trackers can be used to monitor a patient's activity level outside of therapy sessions and determine if increasing intensity can influence their overall function at discharge.
Goals
To maximize physical function and mobility to improve independence during a patient's course of rehab.
Determine if the intensity of activity reported by the patient reflects the intensity of activity reported by the sensors
Examine the correlation between sensor reported outcomes and standardized outcomes in clinical practice
Assess the overall feasibility of using wearable sensors in persons with neurological conditions
What this means...
For Patients & Families: Encourage more physical activity in rehab!
For Clinicians: Support in making decisions and patient centered care!
For Administrators: Access to better data to make decisions about resources and priorities!
For Researchers: Build the evidence for what works best to optimize outcomes!
For Our Organization: Lead the field in Mobility and Activity Research!
