Description of Project: Aim; Methods; Expected Outcomes
|
This project aims to research and develop a Digital Toolkit for Objective Clinical Assessment of activity. The Toolkit will integrate a range of state of the art sensing technologies for measurement of muscle activity from electromyography (EMG), joint movement (accelerometer and gyroscope), and gait characteristics (pressure sensors and gait mat). The toolkit will then use intelligent data analytics to process, correlate and visualise the data in a clinically meaningful way. The project will evaluate the toolkit within a paediatric population to assess the clinical effectiveness of Mobility aids developed by James Leckey Design.
