Official title
Smart Hallway for Gait Assessment
Overview
The aim of the study is to examine suitability of data and processed reports acquired from the Smart Hallway system for clinical settings in terms of user acceptability and accuracy for use in clinical practice.
Detailed description
The goal of the study is to use off-the-shelves markerless and contactless technologies and automatically digitise the person's movements as they walk through an institutional hallway. Multi-camera-based technologies can merge 2D-video into 3D-information. With an appropriate software, one can acquire data, perform the kinematic calculations and generate a report, all with minimal or no human intervention. The specific research question are whether pathological gait or walking disorders of the patients can be identified and classified based on the system's output, whether signs of depression can be classified from the the system's output, and whether the results of the 6-minute walk test can be predicted from the the system's output.
Interventions
- Behavioral Standard rehabilitation
The patients will receive standard rehabilitation that comprises assessment performed by a multidisciplinary team (physical-and-rehabilitation-medicine specialist physician, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, psychologist, social worker, prosthetics-and-orthotics engineer). - Device Lower-limb prosthesis
The patients from the LLL group will be fitted with an appropriate lower-limb prosthesis. - Device Lower-limb orthosis
The patients from the LLO group will be fitted with an appropriate lower-limb orthosis.
Primary outcome measures
- Smart Hallway [Time frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation]
- Falls during rehabilitation [Time frame: Upon discharge from rehabilitation]
Secondary outcome measures (4)
- World Health Organisation Disability Assessment Schedule [Time frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation]
- Activity Specific Balance Confidence Scale [Time frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation]
- Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [Time frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation]
- Six-minute walk test [Time frame: Upon admission to rehabilitation]
