Falls are common and dangerous for survivors of stroke at all stages recovery. The widespread need to assess fall risk in real time individuals after has generated emerging requests a reliable, inexpensive, quantifiable, remote clinical measure/tool. In order meet these requests, we explore the Functional Reach Test (FRT) real-time assessment implement FRT function mStroke , automatic mobile health system poststroke recovery rehabilitation. is designed, developed, delivered as an Application...
Long-term management of individuals post-stroke is essential due to the resultant chronic disability and risk for recurrent stroke. Mobile health technology shows increasing promise provide cost-effective monitoring support systems patient, caregiver, healthcare team. Ideally, such will include stroke adherence support, mechanisms link patients caregivers resources, secure longitudinal data collection with archive that are employed optimize recovery. However, providers computer science...
With the growing population of elderly, need for mobile health solutions is also increasing. We propose a system which allows patients to perform basic stroke rehabilitation tests from their own homes. This drastically cuts down on patient/therapist visits, freeing up therapists more pressing work. paper will focus Timed Up and Go Test (TUG) portion our system. Our requires very little setup, relatively low cost, able provide immediate feedback user. results show that timing par with in some...
The widespread need to assess fall risk has generated for a reliable, inexpensive, and quantifiable clinical measure. In this paper, we propose mStroke, practical, accurate, mobile health system that remotely measures estimation post stroke patients. Our proposed is delivered as an application (App) running on our hardware consisting of two bluetooth low energy (BLE) modular sensor devices smartphone. This uses accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer measure within the functional reach test,...
We present an approach to wearable sensor-based assessment of fall risk for post stroke patients. The goal is use inertial measurement unit automate the estimation functional reach test. In this paper, we current stage our system, including proposed Event Scoring technique detecting events such as shuffling and taking steps during system also equipped with signal processing tools measuring patient's balance. delivered application (App) running on hardware consisting two bluetooth low energy...
Traditional surgical treatment for symptomatic cervical degenerative disc disease is anterior discectomy and fusion (ACDF), yet the increased risk of adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) requiring additional surgery exists may result in limiting long-term success when it occurs. Disc arthroplasty can preserve or restore physiologic range motion (ROM), decreasing level stress subsequent surgery. For patients with multilevel pathology at least a 1-level fusion, interest growing hybrid (ACH) as...
Introduction: The prevalence of neck pain and cervical spine pathologies is skyrocketing, fueled by an aging population younger generations affected poor posture while using handheld devices. Many patients turn to the internet for medical information, but studies have shown that available sources are often difficult general public understand, resulting in knowledge gaps. Amidst this confusion, specific topics captivate public's attention remain unidentified. Objective: Identify greatest...
