Technology-Based Compensation Assessment and Detection of Upper Extremity Activities of Stroke Survivors: Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Upper extremity (UE) impairment affects up to 80% of stroke survivors and accounts for most of the rehabilitation after discharge from the hospital release. Compensation, commonly used by stroke survivors during UE rehabilitation, is applied to adapt to the loss of motor function and may impede the rehabilitation process in the long term and lead to new orthopedic problems. Intensive monitoring of compensatory movements is critical for improving the functional outcomes during rehabilitation.

Objective

This review analyzes how technology-based methods have been applied to assess and detect compensation during stroke UE rehabilitation.

Methods

We conducted a wide database search. All studies were independently screened by 2 reviewers (XW and YF), with a third
