The added value of sensor-based tests in explaining the variance in walking and ADL independency after stroke: An exploratory study.

ABSTRACT: ObjectiveTo evaluate the added value of sensor-based tests over conventional tests in explaining the variance in independence in activities of daily living (ADL) and independent walking in patients during inpatient stroke rehabilitation.DesignCross-sectional designSettingInpatient stroke rehabilitationParticipantsData were collected from 115 patients with stroke admitted to inpatient rehabilitation.InterventionNo intervention has been applied.Main measuresConventional measures and sensor-based tests in which postural sway and gait variables were measured using inertial measurement units. Outcome measures were ADL independence (determined by Barthel Index [BI]) and independent walking (determined by Functional Ambulation Categories [FAC]).ResultsWith univariable linear regression analyses s
