Activity monitor accuracy in persons using canes.
The StepWatch activity monitor has not been validated on multiple indoor and outdoor surfaces in a population using ambulation aids. The aims of this technical report are to report on strategies to configure the StepWatch activity monitor on subjects using a cane and to report the accuracy of both leg-mounted and cane-mounted StepWatch devices on people ambulating over different surfaces while ...
متن کاملStep Activity Monitor: accuracy and test-retest reliability in persons with incomplete spinal cord injury.
Recovery of walking after incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI) is a common focus of rehabilitation, but few measurement tools capture walking performance outside the clinic or laboratory. This study determined the accuracy and test-retest reliability of the Step Activity Monitor (SAM), a microprocessor-driven accelerometer that measures walking activity. We evaluated 11 individuals with iSCI du...
متن کاملAccuracy Improvement of CoMPACT Monitor by Using New Probing Method
CoMPACT monitor that we have proposed is new technique to measure per-flow quality of service (QoS). CoMPACT monitor provide scalable measurement of one-way delay distribution by the combination of active and passive measurement. Recently, a new probing method for improving the accuracy of simple active measurement have been proposed. In this paper, we adopt the new probing method as active mea...
متن کاملUsing Branch Predictors to Monitor Brain Activity
A key problem with neuroprostheses and brain monitoring interfaces is that they need extreme energy efficiency. One way of lowering energy is to use the low power modes available on the processors embedded in these devices. We present a technique to predict when neuronal activity of interest is likely to occur, so that the processor can run at nominal operating frequency at those times, and be ...
متن کاملGait Speed and Confidence Levels in Persons Using 1 and 2 Canes While Walking a 4-m Course
This is the first article that the researcher is aware of that compares walking speed and confidence levels with 1 cane versus 2 canes. An observational study was conducted with 30 participants who had difficulty walking. Gait speed was assessed on a 4-m course with the participants using 1 cane, then 2 canes. Of 30 participants, 28 walked faster and demonstrated improved confidence with 2 cane...
