Of the researchers fromSimon Fraser Universityin British Columbia (west), have placed sensors on more than 50 survivors of a AVC Before using this data to generate movement models.
Research opens the way to the development of new techniques aimed at facilitating the rehabilitation of a victim of a stroke, explained Gustavo Balbinotdeputy professor in Neurological rehabilitation to theSimon Fraser University.
“These discoveries can also help those who have difficulty keeping their balance, such as those suffering from vertigo or a injury to the spine“He said.
The Professor Balbinot team has developed software that divides movement models into three -second sections. This software can detect a change in the model, indicating a risk of falling, which can greatly harm a patient recovering from a stroke. The objective is to manage to integrate theIT clothinglike smart watchesto help patients avoid making dangerous falls.
“The software may warn us that we are in danger and that it is better to sit for a moment,” said Balbinot, adding that “thealgorithm Can learn from time to time. “The software can really learn what is good or bad for each person,” he said.
According to the study, published in the revue Clinical RehabilitationTHE doctors will be able to interpret the data so as to better inform their patients.
The next research will relate to the long -term use of these devices and their effectiveness within a varied population of patients, said study authors.
