Description:
Project and publication. assessing mobility of older persons using real time data and to compare these data with the mobility assessment of physiotherapists. 3d mobility trackers can be used to collect long-term mobility data. since changes in mobility might indicate functional decline, long-term trackiing allows to react to changes in mobility. such a technology may have essential medical and social value.
Overview:
20 older people aged 74+-5 (mean +- SD) were monitored over 10 months to investigate the performance of an automated mobility tracker. Physiotherapists performed periodic mobility assessments. Annotated 3d recordings served as ground truth data.
Objectives:
To assess mobility of older persons using real time data and to compare these data with the mobility assessment of physiotherapists.
Initiatives:
High correlation (r=0.684) of annotated and tracked gait speed was found. The mean absolute error is 0.16 m/s.3D mobility trackers can be used to collect long-term mobility data. Since changes in mobility might indicate functional decline, long-term tracking allows to react to changes in mobility. Such a technology may have essential medical and social value.
