Feasibility And Effects Of Accelerometer Based Feedback On Paretic Upper Extremity Amount Of Use In The Home Setting In Subjects Chronic Post-Stroke, Nathan Pohl, Amber Kuehn, Mishgan Abdullah

Undergraduate Research Posters 2015

Purpose : to (1) evaluate the feasibility of using accelerometers in the home to quantify how much subjects chronic post-stroke (PS) use their upper extremities (UE), (2) measure differences between amount of UE movement in subjects PS and a healthy control group (HC), (3) determine the effects of accelerometer based feedback on paretic UE use in subjects PS, and (4) determine if those effects are retained over time. Methods : Six subjects PS wore accelerometers for 3 weeks with two feedback sessions given during week two. Seven HC subjects wore accelerometers for one week. Accelerometer based outcome measures included relative …


Effects Of Accelerometer Based Feedback On Clinical Measures And Paretic Upper Extremity Amount Of Use In Subjects Chronic Post-Stroke, Amber Kuehn, Nathan Pohl, Mishgan Abdullah Jan 2015

Effects Of Accelerometer Based Feedback On Clinical Measures And Paretic Upper Extremity Amount Of Use In Subjects Chronic Post-Stroke, Amber Kuehn, Nathan Pohl, Mishgan Abdullah

Undergraduate Research Posters 2015

Purpose/Hypothesis: To determine the effects of accelerometer based feedback on clinical measures of paretic upper extremity (UE) recovery in people post-stroke and examine the relationship between these changes and paretic UE amount of use (AOU) measured by an accelerometer. Subjects: 7 people chronic post-stroke (5 males, 2 females; aged 62.03 ± 11.33 years) with an Upper Extremity Fugl-Meyer score range of 10-63 were included for this poster. Materials/Methods: Subjects wore wrist accelerometers for 3 weeks in the home. Clinical measures (Motor Activity Log, Stroke Impact Scale, Chedoke Arm and Hand Activity Inventory, and the ABILHAND) were assessed weekly. Data analysis …
