Automation of Functional Mobility Assessments at Home Using a Multimodal Sensor System Integrating Inertial Measurement Units and Computer Vision (IMU-Vision).

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Functional movement assessments are routinely used to evaluate and track changes in mobility. The objective of this study was to evaluate a multimodal movement monitoring system developed for autonomous, home-based, functional movement assessment.

Methods

Fifty frail and prefrail adults were recruited from the Brigham and Women's Hospital at Home program to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy of applying the multimodal movement monitoring system to autonomously recognize and score functional activities collected in the home. Study subjects completed sit-to-stand, standing balance (Romberg, semitandem, and tandem), and walking test activities in likeness to the Short Physical Performance Battery. Test activities were identified and scored manually and by the multi
