Introduction
We determined whether instrumenting timed functional tasks with wireless inertial motion sensors were responsive to facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) progression and movement pattern changes.
Methods
Ten individuals who were clinically affected with genetically confirmed FSHD, mean age 54 years (range 42–65), performed an instrumented timed up and go (iTUG) trial at each...
Introduction: Instrumenting timed functional motor tasks may reveal a continuum of motor disability that predicts future motor dysfunction. Methods: We performed a prospective study of the instrumented timed up and go (iTUG) test in genetically confirmed facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) participants using a commercially available system of wireless motion sensors. Patients returned within...
Wearable inertial systems have recently been used to track human movement in and outside of the laboratory. Continuous monitoring of human movement can provide valuable information relevant to individual's level of physical activity and functional ability. Traditionally, orientation has been calculated by integrating the angular velocity from gyroscopes. However, a small drift in the measured velocity...
