Assessing real-world gait with digital technology? Validation, insights and recommendations from the Mobilise-D consortium
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Abolfazl Soltani, Francesca Salis
Background: Although digital mobility outcomes (DMOs) can be readily calculated from real-world data collected with wearable devices and ad-hoc algorithms, technical validation is still required. The aim of this paper is to comparatively assess and validat ...
BMC2023Automatic Body Segment and Side Recognition of an Inertial Measurement Unit Sensor during Gait
Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin
Inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors are widely used for motion analysis in sports and rehabilitation. The attachment of IMU sensors to predefined body segments and sides (left/right) is complex, time-consuming, and error-prone. Methods for solving the ...
MDPI2023Toward an objective assessment of mobility in clinical and daily activity settings
Quantification of mobility is the key to monitor the progression of mobility disorders as well as the effect of an intervention. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) with dedicated algorithms can quantify postural transitions and gait as the two key aspects o ...
EPFL2021Effect of Fear of Falling on Mobility Measured During Lab and Daily Activity Assessments in Parkinson’s Disease
In chronic disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), fear of falling (FOF) is associated with falls and reduced quality of life. With inertial measurement units (IMUs) and dedicated algorithms, different aspects of mobility can be obtained during supervi ...
2021Comparison of Laboratory and Daily-Life Gait Speed Assessment during ON and OFF States in Parkinson’s Disease
Accurate assessment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) ON and OFF states in the usual environment is essential for tailoring optimal treatments. Wearables facilitate measurements of gait in novel and unsupervised environments; however, differences between unsupe ...
2021Wearable Sensor-Based Real-Time Gait Detection: A Systematic Review
Auke Ijspeert, Grégoire Courtine, Joachim von Zitzewitz, Miroslav Caban, Hari Prasanth, Urs Keller
Gait analysis has traditionally been carried out in a laboratory environment using expensive equipment, but, recently, reliable, affordable, and wearable sensors have enabled integration into clinical applications as well as use during activities of daily ...
2021Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease patients: performance versus capacity
Kamiar Aminian, Farzin Dadashi, Benoît Mariani, Arash Atrsaei
Gait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions prov ...
2021Simulation Tool : Resources Management in High Performance Avionic for ADR Missions
Jean-Paul Richard Kneib, Michaël Yannick Juillard
This paper describes the second iteration in the development of a simulation tool that provides trade-offs of avionic architectures for future Active Debris Removal (ADR) space missions. Challenges of ADR missions lay in their ability to first detect and t ...
IEEE2021Gait in real world: validated algorithms for gait periods and speed estimation using a single wearable sensor
Mobility concerns most daily tasks (e.g., householding, shopping), affecting life quality. Gait speed, recognized as the sixth vital sign, is a key to characterize mobility. It is also a primary outcome of many clinical interventions. Monitoring gait in un ...
EPFL2020Locomotion and cadence detection using a single trunk-fixed accelerometer: validity for children with cerebral palsy in daily life-like conditions
Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Lena Carcreff, Stéphane Armand
BACKGROUND: Physical therapy interventions for ambulatory youth with cerebral palsy (CP) often focus on activity-based strategies to promote functional mobility and participation in physical activity. The use of activity monitors validated for this populat ...
