Quantitative assessment of motor abilities in stroke survivors undergoing rehabilitation can be a valuable feedback to guide the rehabilitation process. The Functional Ability Scale (FAS) part of Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) is used to evaluate movement quality during performance of a set of functional motor tasks. In this paper, we show that information collected using body worn sensors such as...
Quantitative assessment of motor abilities in stroke survivors can provide valuable feedback to guide clinical interventions. Numerous clinical scales were developed in the past to assess levels of impairment and functional limitation in individuals after stroke. The Functional Ability Scale is one of these clinical scales. It is a 75-point scale used to evaluate the functional ability of subjects...
Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative movement disorder resulting in rigidity, bradykinesia (slowness), tremor and gait disorder. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic nucleus has been shown to be effective in managing symptoms, but quantitative methods to facilitate the adjustment of the stimulator settings are needed. In this paper, we present preliminary results from a study aimed...
Substation secondary system engineering has remained generally unchanged for over a hundred years based on physical construction being largely based on wire connections between plant and equipment. IEC 61850 allows replacement of wire based systems with communication based operation of the substation automation system generally operating over a Local Area Network. As such new engineering processes,...
Our study suggests that a sensor-based technique might be an important adjunct to existing clinical measures to improve the management of patients undergoing Parkinson's control therapy via deep-brain stimulation. In the future, clinicians could gather accelerometer data for approximately one week before and after outpatient visits for deep-brain stimulation adjustments. An expert system could then...
