Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Objective measurement of post-stroke motor disability is crucial for effective rehabilitation program design.
  • Existing clinical scales may underestimate mild motor impairments, impacting functional recovery assessment.
  • Novel technologies are needed to provide sensitive and objective measures of motor function after stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility of a custom-built software for assessing motor status in stroke patients.
  • To compare kinematic metrics derived from software analysis with established clinical stroke scales.
  • To identify objective kinematic markers that correlate with stroke severity and functional disability.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective case-control pilot study involving stroke patients and healthy volunteers.
  • Utilized Kinect® motion capture and custom Akira® software to extract kinematic metrics of trunk and upper limb movement.
  • Compared kinematic data between groups and explored correlations with National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Fulg-Meyer Assessment (FMA), and modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Main Results:

  • Kinematic analysis revealed significant differences between stroke patients and controls in body sway during walking (p=0.01) and forearm-trunk angle drift during shoulder abduction (p=0.01).
  • Body sway during walking showed moderate correlation with NIHSS (Rho=-0.39, p=0.01) and stronger correlation with mRS (Rho=-0.52, p<0.001), associating with absence of disability.
  • Forearm-trunk angle drift was linked to the presence of disability (mRS >1) (OR=1.27, p=0.04).

Conclusions:

  • The developed software effectively detects motor impairments in stroke patients, including subtle deficits missed by conventional scales.
  • Objective kinematic measurements provide valuable insights into functional disability post-stroke.
  • This technology holds promise for enhancing the precision of motor status assessment and guiding rehabilitation strategies.
