Sensor-based outcomes to monitor everyday life motor activities of children and adolescents with neuromotor impairments: A survey with health professionals.

ABSTRACT: In combination with appropriate data processing algorithms, wearable inertial sensors enable the measurement of motor activities in children's and adolescents' habitual environments after rehabilitation. However, existing algorithms were predominantly designed for adult patients, and their outcomes might not be relevant for a pediatric population. In this study, we identified the needs of pediatric rehabilitation to create the basis for developing new algorithms that derive clinically relevant outcomes for children and adolescents with neuromotor impairments. We conducted an international survey with health professionals of pediatric neurorehabilitation centers, provided them a list of 34 outcome measures currently used in the literature, and asked them to rate the clinical relevance of th
