We need this so we can get an objective diagnosis of our movement problems. Then we could map protocols that fix those problems to them and have repeatable recovery options. But no, no one in stroke seems be thinking like that at all. We get crapola guidelines instead, we seem to have no intelligence in the stroke medical world at all.

Wearable Sensors for Stroke Rehabilitation
- Chapter
- First Online:
Abstract
In this chapter, we provide a review of the current applications of wearable sensors in the field of stroke rehabilitation. Four key points are discussed in this review. First, wearable sensors are a viable solution for monitoring movement during rehabilitation exercises and clinical assessments, but more work needs to be done to derive clinically relevant information from sensor data collected during unstructured activities. Second, wearable technologies provide critical information related to the performance of activities in daily life, information that is not necessarily captured during in-clinic assessments. Third, wearable technologies can provide feedback and motivation to increase movement in the home and community settings. Finally, technologies are rapidly emerging that can complement “traditional” wearable sensors and sometimes replace them as they provide less obtrusive means of monitoring motor function in stroke survivors. These developing technologies, as well as readily available wearable sensors, are transforming stroke rehabilitation, their development is progressing at a fast pace, and their use so far has allowed us to gather important information, that we would have not been able to collect otherwise, which has tremendous potential to further advance stroke rehabilitation.
