Predicting community walking after stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A key element of personalized stroke rehabilitation is early prediction of an individual's potential to walk in the community.

Objective

We aim to determine the predictive value of patient characteristics, clinical test results, and Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) based balance, clinical gait and daily-life measures, measured at admission and discharge in clinical stroke rehabilitation, for community walking 6 months after stroke.

Methods

Data were collected from people after stroke during clinical rehabilitation and at 6 months post stroke. The assessment during rehabilitation consisted of an IMU-based 2-min walk test (2MWT), three IMU-based balance tests, an IMU-based measurement of gait in daily life, and several standard clinical tests, including the
