    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Rehabilitation Science
    • Clinical Biomechanics

    Background:

    • Home-based rehabilitation for stroke patients offers cost-effectiveness and efficiency.
    • Accurate and timely assessment is crucial for effective stroke rehabilitation and feedback.
    • Existing assessment methods may lack quantitative precision for home-based settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a quantitative lower limb motor function assessment approach for stroke patients.
    • To utilize limb kinematic data for objective evaluation during rehabilitation exercises.
    • To provide a practical tool for monitoring progress in home-based stroke rehabilitation.

    Main Methods:

    • Acquisition of lower limb kinematic data using a body area network of two triaxial accelerometers.
    • Quantification of kinematic characteristics into specific evaluation parameters during selected exercises.
    • Development of a reference template from healthy subjects and calculation of an empirical score for stroke patients.

    Main Results:

    • The proposed scoring method demonstrated a statistically significant strong correlation with the established Brunnstrom stage classification.
    • The kinematic parameters effectively quantified lower limb motor function in stroke survivors.
    • The system provides a practical, quantitative evaluation for home-based lower limb rehabilitation.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed kinematic assessment approach offers a practical and quantitative method for evaluating lower limb motor function in stroke patients during home-based rehabilitation.
    • This method provides valuable feedback for clinicians and patients, enhancing rehabilitation efficacy.
    • The approach supports early discharge and continued rehabilitation at home, aligning with clinical relevance for improved patient outcomes.
