Summary :
Researchers have spent decades studying rehabilitation interventions for improving mobility, balance, and upper limb function for people with stroke and other neurological disorders. Trial outcomes are often measured at the activity capacity level, defined as what a person is capable of doing in the structured environment of the clinic or laboratory. It has been long assumed that improvements in activity capacity result in improvements in real world activity performance, where activity performance is defined as what a person actually does in daily life, outside of the clinic or laboratory. This presentation will discuss some of the surprising findings arising from measuring movement performance in daily life in persons with stroke and Parkinsons disease, current efforts to use wearable sensing in clinical care, and future directions.
Light refreshments will be served!
Free CEUs available for PT, OT, SLP, and Nursing
