SMART: Stroke Measurement And Remote Tracking
The SMART project focuses on improving our understanding and treatment of walking problems in people who have suffered a stroke. Current treatment choices are often based on measurements taken in an artificial setting, which is not always representative of everyday functioning. To gain more insight into this, we will measure walking using wearable sensors (ambulatory sensors) that record walking patterns in three environments:
- Gait analysis laboratory (controlled)
- During and outside therapy sessions (semi-controlled)
- Home situation (uncontrolled)
Objective:
- Gain insight into individual walking problems during and outside physiotherapy sessions and in the home situation;
- Enable better treatment choices through objective data;
- Facilitate decisions between doctor, practitioner and patient.
Tasks Roessingh
- Validating the sensors against the gold standard (3D gait analysis)
- Measuring walking within and outside therapy sessions
- Measuring walking in the home environment
- Developing data visualisation for healthcare providers and patients
- Active involvement of patients via a panel
