We should with ANY initiative at all be able to use the same sensors to detect objective gait problems in stroke survivors and design protocols to address them. Then other survivors could benefit from this publicly available knowledge. But that won't occur because, 'All strokes are different, all stroke recoveries are different'. That fuckingly stupid statement is from your stroke medical professionals. A 'Get of of Jail Free' card so they have to know nothing and learn nothing about stroke recovery.
Freezing of gait and fall detection in Parkinson's disease using wearable sensors: A systematic review
Journal of Neurology, 03/03/2017
The
authors presented an overview of the use of wearable systems to
evaluate Freezing of gait (FOG) and falls in Parkinson’s disease (PD)
and validation performance. They were all performed in relatively small
sample sizes, and there was a significant variability in outcomes
measured and results reported despite the promising validation
initiatives reported in these studies. Given these limitations, the
validation of sensor–derived assessments of PD features would benefit
from more focused research efforts, increased collaboration among
researchers, aligning data collection protocols, and sharing data sets.
