Toward Unsupervised Capacity Assessments for Gait in Neurorehabilitation: Validation Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Gait impairments are common in stroke survivors, negatively impacting their overall quality of life. Therefore, gait rehabilitation is often targeted during in-clinic rehabilitation. While standardized assessments are available for inpatient evaluation, the literature often reports variable results when these assessments are conducted in a home environment. Several factors, such as the presence of an observer, the environment itself, or the technology used, may contribute to these differing results. Therefore, it is relevant to establish unsupervised capacity assessments for both in-clinic use and across the continuum of care.

Objective

This study aimed to investigate the effect of supervision on the outcomes of a sensor-based 10-meter walk test conducted in a cli
