Abstract
Stroke is a common neurological disorder that can drastically impact mobility - that is, the ability to move in and through one's surroundings. Although rehabilitation programs focus on restoring mobility after stroke, there is no present method for reliably and fully quantifying mobility outside of a clinical setting. Smartphones are ubiquitous wearable sensing systems that can measure community mobility using movement and location tracking. We are currently investigating the ability of smartphone data to characterize post-stroke recovery in a long-term monitoring study (3-6 months). We will evaluate the potential of community mobility features to predict recovery, as determined by traditional clinical assessments. Preliminary results will be available in August 2017. Findings will provide a more objective, complete picture of recovery following stroke as well as the real-world impact of rehabilitation.
