Predicting Functional Independence Measure Scores During Rehabilitation With Wearable Inertial Sensors

Abstract: Evaluating patient progress and making discharge decisions regarding inpatient medical rehabilitation rely upon standard clinical assessments administered by trained clinicians. Wearable inertial sensors can offer more objective measures of patient movement and progress. We undertook a study to investigate the contribution of wearable sensor data to predict discharge functional independence measure (FIM) scores for 20 patients at an inpatient rehabilitation facility. The FIM utilizes a 7-point ordinal scale to… Show more

“…Several studies have used IMUs for analyzing gait and other movements as an inexpensive and unobtrusive substitute for other technologies [3]–[5]. In addition, we have shown in previous work that longitudinal changes in IMU metrics are predictive of patient FIM scores at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation [6]. …”

“…That is, while the person is practicing RTG movements, they need to know how well they performed the movement in order to improve their performance in future repetitions. The prevailing way to monitor motor recovery of the patient is carried out by direct human observation, using standard clinical ratings such as the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), Functional Test for the Hemiplegic Upper Extremity (FTHUE), and the Brunnstrom stage [13,14]. However, whereas those clinical scales are efficient tools, they also have some drawbacks [13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…The prevailing way to monitor motor recovery of the patient is carried out by direct human observation, using standard clinical ratings such as the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), Functional Test for the Hemiplegic Upper Extremity (FTHUE), and the Brunnstrom stage [13,14]. However, whereas those clinical scales are efficient tools, they also have some drawbacks [13][14][15][16][17]. The subjective judgement exercised by therapists using those tools may lack accurate quantifiable data [14], likely because it is difficult for the human eye to detect variations in a small-scale movement [17].…”
