“…The insignificant change in ML sway and WBA in the current study may be because of the unilateral presentation of stroke. Because of patients depending more on the unaffected limb, this decreases the symmetry of weight bearing equally between limbs, thus as a compensatory mechanism, it increases ML sway in the direction of the unaffected limb (Pilkar, Arzouni & Nolan 2018). However, in this highfunctioning cohort, the BBS did not reveal these remaining impairments on discharge -a finding replicating that of previous studies (Patterson et al 2017), where 43% of stroke patients classified as having no fall risk by their BBS score still showed ML COP displacement values indicating fall risk.…”

“…Every parameter was computed as in previous studies [ 15 , 17 ] The global percentage load on each foot was used for the calculation of the symmetry index, which indicated the alignment of the weight distribution with respect to the median line in the standing position. Similarly, in a previous study on stroke patients [ 18 ], the ratio of the minimum value between the right mean load and left mean load divided by the maximum value was chosen as the index of symmetry.

This study aimed to validate a sensorized version of a perceptive surface that may be used for the early assessment of misperception of body midline representation in subjects with right stroke, even when they are not yet able to stand in an upright posture. This device, called SuPerSense, allows testing of the load distribution of the body weight on the back in a supine position. The device was tested in 15 patients with stroke, 15 age-matched healthy subjects, and 15 young healthy adults, assessing three parameters analogous to those conventionally extracted by a baropodometric platform in a standing posture. Subjects were hence tested on SuPerSense in a supine position and on a baropodometric platform in an upright posture in two different conditions: with open eyes and with closed eyes. Significant correlations were found between the lengths of the center of pressure path with the two devices in the open-eyes condition (R = 0.44, p = 0.002). The parameters extracted by SuPerSense were significantly different among groups only when patients were divided into those with right versus left brain damage. This last result is conceivably related to the role of the right hemisphere of the brain in the analysis of spatial information.

“…Arguably, such technology and devices are particularly needed for individuals with mobility impairments, such as those with acquired brain injury (ABI) due to stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Hemiparesis, which persists even into the chronic phase of stroke, affects balance and reduces a person's ability to walk 13 . Mechanisms of walking after ABI are often characterized by reduced speed, kinematic, temporospatial, and neuromuscular asymmetry, and postural instability 14‐17 .…”

“…Hemiparesis, which persists even into the chronic phase of stroke, affects balance and reduces a person's ability to walk. 13 Mechanisms of walking after ABI are often characterized by reduced speed, kinematic, temporospatial, and neuromuscular asymmetry, and postural instability. [14][15][16][17] Therefore, one of the major rehabilitation goals for individuals after ABI is to improve mobility and regain functional independence in the community.…”

Objective The application of wearable devices in individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) resulting from stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI) for monitoring physical activity (PA) has been relatively recent. The current systematic review aims to provide insights into the adaption of these devices, the outcome metrics, and their transition from the laboratory to the community for PA monitoring of individuals with ABI. Literature Survey The PubMed and Google Scholar databases were systematically reviewed using appropriate search terms. A total of 20 articles were reviewed from the last 15 years. Methodology Articles were classified into three categories: PA measurement studies, PA classification studies, and validation studies. The quality of studies was assessed using a quality appraisal checklist. Synthesis It was found that the transition of wearable devices from in‐lab to community‐based studies in individuals with stroke has started but is not widespread. The transition of wearable devices in the community has not yet started for individuals with TBI. Accelerometer‐based devices were more frequently chosen than pedometers and inertial measurement units. No consensus on a preferred wearable device (make or model) or wear location could be identified, although step count was the most common outcome metric. The accuracy and validity of most outcome metrics used in the community were not reported for many studies. Conclusions To facilitate future studies using wearable devices for PA measurement in the community, we recommend that researchers provide details on the accuracy and validity of the outcome metrics specific to the study environment. Once the accuracy and validity are established for a specific population, wearable devices and their derived outcomes can provide objective information on mobility impairment as well as the effect of rehabilitation in the community.
