C-STAR Course: Highlights for Wearable Sensors in Rehabilitation: Tracking for the Future
DESCRIPTION
A variety of wearable sensors are available to measure data from individuals needing or who will need rehabilitation. These data may be used to measure outcomes associated with movements, muscle activation, vital signs, and more. While there is no shortage of devices, it is confusing to know when and how to use them in clinical populations to answer clinical and research questions. To use wearable sensors effectively to obtain data that is meaningful and relevant, judgments must be made about which devices to use, where to place them, how to configure them, what types of data to collect, and when to make the measurements.
This "highlights" offering includes sessions from the 2021 C-STAR course "Wearable Sensors in Rehabilitation: Tracking for the Future", and explores basic principles of using wearable sensors to effectively measure biometrics such as muscle health, movement, and vital signs in a rehabilitation population. Facilitators review how common wearable sensors work and what they measure, and research/clinical applications where wearable sensors were actively employed using IMU or EMG features.
