简要总结
The overall aim of this project is to monitor everyday life activity of children with neurological disorders undergoing rehabilitation using wearable sensors capable of accurate and unobtrusive long-term measurement.
Specific objectives:
- To adapt the sensors for the use by children with neurological disorders. The focus lies on the exact positioning and the investigation of the needed amount of IMUs.
- To validate the sensor data with collected video recordings and to develop specific algorithms to automatically extract specific movements and to analyze long-term sensor recordings.
- To perform a cross-sectional study to assess intensity, task-specificity and duration of upper and lower limb activity during rehabilitation. There, we aim to gain objective information about levels and types of activity during rehabilitation in relation to age, gender and disorder.
- To conduct a responsiveness study to assess whether or not the sensor output is able to highlight changes over time during rehabilitation.
Therefore, at time point T=0 (shortly after admission to our center), participants are equipped with 3 inertial measurement units (1 at each wrist and 1 at the sternum). Additionally, a small wearable camera is mounted to the chest. The participants then return to their everyday life for 4 hours (no therapies, measurement period is in the evening). Afterwards, the equipment is removed again. To investigate responsiveness, the same protocol is being repeated 4 weeks later (time point T=1).

结局指标
主要结局
Counts per minute at time point T=1
时间窗: At T=1 (4 weeks after T=0)
From the wearable sensors at the wrist, a count/minute statistic is calculated that reflects the amount of activity the child performs during that time.
Counts per minute at time point T=0
时间窗: At T=0
From the wearable sensors at the wrist, a count/minute statistic is calculated that reflects the amount of activity the child performs during that time.
