Area of Science:

  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Stroke survivors experience persistent motor and sensory deficits, increasing fall risk.
  • Falls in stroke survivors often occur in home or community settings.
  • Wearable technology offers potential for monitoring fall risk and gait in stroke survivors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the feasibility of using wearable technology (PAMSys™) for objective monitoring of fall risk and gait.
  • To assess monitoring in home and community settings for stroke survivors.

Main Methods:

  • A feasibility study involving 10 stroke survivors and 10 age-matched controls.
  • Utilized PAMSys™ to collect data on fall risk indicators and gait parameters over 48 hours.
  • Assessed device acceptability via questionnaire.

Main Results:

  • Stroke survivors demonstrated significantly worse fall risk indicators and reduced walking compared to controls (P < 0.05).
  • 100% of stroke survivors found the PAMSys device comfortable and non-interfering.
  • High willingness to continue using the device for monitoring.

Conclusions:

  • Stroke survivors reported high acceptability of 48-hour continuous PAMSys monitoring.
  • In-home wearable technology is a feasible tool for monitoring fall risk and gait in stroke survivors.
  • This technology may enhance recovery and prevent injuries in stroke survivors.
