The use of wearable equipment and sensing devices to monitor physical activities, whether for well-being, sports monitoring, or medical rehabilitation, has expanded rapidly due to the evolution of sensing techniques, cheaper integrated circuits, and the development of connectivity technologies. In this scenario, this paper presents a state-of-the-art review of sensors and systems for rehabilitation and health monitoring. Although we know the increasing importance of data processing techniques, our focus was on analyzing the implementation of sensors and biomedical applications. Although many themes overlap, we organized this review based on three groups: Sensors in Healthcare, Home Medical Assistance, and Continuous Health Monitoring; Systems and Sensors in Physical Rehabilitation; and Assistive Systems.

“…The Myo Armband (MA) (Thalmic Labs, ON, Canada) was used to measure total movement of the lower arm through an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and total movement of the hand and fingers through electromyography (EMG). The MA has been investigated for a variety of applications such as hand hygiene training [15], rehabilitation therapy [16][17][18], and successfully distinguishing experience levels in laparoscopic knot tying [19]. Validity investigation of the tool was performed using Messick's validity framework (Table 1) [20], as recommended by the American Educational Research Association when evaluating validity [21,22].…”

Automatic and Objective Assessment of Motor Skills Performance in Flexible Bronchoscopy

Background: Motor skills have been identified as a useful measure to evaluate competency in bronchoscopy. However, no automatic assessment system of motor skills with a clear pass/fail criterion in flexible bronchoscopy exists. Objectives: The objective of the study was to develop an objective and automatic measure of motor skills in bronchoscopy and set a pass/fail criterion. Methods: Participants conducted 3 bronchoscopies each in a simulated setting. They were equipped with a Myo Armband that measured lower arm movements through an inertial measurement unit, and hand and finger motions through electromyography sensors. These measures were composed into an objective and automatic composite score of motor skills, the motor bronchoscopy skills score (MoBSS). Results: Twelve novices, eleven intermediates, and ten expert bronchoscopy operators participated, resulting in 99 procedures available for assessment. MoBSS was correlated with a higher diagnostic completeness (Pearson’s correlation, r = 0.43, p < 0.001) and a lower procedure time (Pearson’s correlation, r = −0.90, p < 0.001). MoBSS was able to differentiate operator performance based on the experience level (one-way ANOVA, p < 0.001). Using the contrasting groups’ method, a passing score of −0.08 MoBSS was defined that failed 30/36 (83%) novice, 5/33 (15%) intermediate, and 1/30 (3%) expert procedures. Conclusions: MoBSS can be used as an automatic and unbiased assessment tool for motor skills performance in flexible bronchoscopy. MoBSS has the potential to generate automatic feedback to help guide trainees toward expert performance.
