“…These are essential for walking and mobility and require the acceptable ability of lower limb function and postural control (4). Stroke patients transferred less weight to their affected leg than unaffected one during sit-to-stand positions, which makes them unable to change their positions (5). It has been reported that placing the affected foot behind the unaffected foot reduces the asymmetry in response to vertical forces during changing position; thus, assessment and restoration of suitable and symmetrical postural stability are one of the important goals to prevent these patients from falling into the process of rehabilitation (5).…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a single session of cerebellar anodal cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on timed up and go test (TUG) with foot placement in patients with chronic stroke. Methods: Twenty patients with chronic stroke participated in this clinical trial. TUG test was carried out with four different foot positions, 1- spontaneous foot positions (SP), 2- symmetrical foot positions (SYP), 3- asymmetrical foot positions (PBNP), paretic foot behind the non-paretic foot, and 4- asymmetrical foot positions (NPBP), nonparetic foot behind the paretic foot, before and after using tDCS. Anodal tDCS (1.5 mA) was applied over the cerebellum for 20 minutes. Results: The time of the TUG test was significantly different after using tDCS at all foot positions: SP (P = 0.012), SYP (P = 0.010), PBNP (P = 0.047), and NPBP (P = 0.037). Conclusions: It seems that cerebellar tDCS can be a useful method in improving functional balance in chronic stroke patients.

“…In addition, fall risk estimation is one of the important processes as a prerequisite for ambulation, and the Timed Up and Go test is one of the most useful tools for predicting fall risk. Therefore, the STS movement is a process that should be carried out in advance to perform ambulation, and is a basic element to acquire functional self-reliance for post stroke individuals [24][25][26]. Furthermore, independence in activity of daily living is associated with quality of life and is important in rehabilitation of the stroke survivor.…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the joint angle of the lower extremities during sit-to-stand movements with wearable sensors based on a portable gait analysis system (PGAS), and the results were compared with a analysis system (MAS) to predict the clinical potential of it. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Sixteen persons with stroke (9 males, 7 females) participated in this study. All subjects had the MAS and designed PGS applied simultaneously and eight sensor units of designed PGAS were placed in a position to avoid overlap with the reflexive markers from MAS. The initial position of the subjects was 90º of hip, knee, and ankle joint flexion while sitting on a chair that was armless and backless. The height of the chair was adjusted to each individual. After each trial, the test administrator checked the quality of data from both systems that measured sit-to-stand for test-retest reliability and concurrent validity. Results: As a result, wearable sensor based designed PGAS and MAS demonstrated reasonable test-retest reliability for the assessment of joint angle in the lower extremities during sit-to-stand performance. The intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed an acceptable test-retest reliability, with ICCs ranging from 0.759 to 0.959. In contrast, the MAS showed good to excellent test-retest reliability, with ICCS ranging from 0.811 to 0.950. In concurrent validity, a significant positive relationship was observed between PGAS and MAS for variation of joint angle during sit-to-stand movements (p<0.01). A moderate to high relationship was found in the affected hip (r=0.665), unaffected hip (r=0.767), affected knee (r=0.876), unaffected knee (r=0.886), affected ankle (r=0.943) and unaffected ankle (r=0.823) respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed acceptable test-retest reliability and concurrent validity in persons with stroke for sit-to-stand movements and wearable sensors based on developed PGAS may be a useful tool for clinical assessment of functional movement.

“…Embedded sensors may help to monitor the different functional tests with the detection of different types of movements [ 18 , 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ]. The Timed-Up-and-Go test is a quick and straightforward clinical test for assessing lower extremity performance related to balance, mobility and fall risk in the elderly population and people with pathologies (i.e., Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, in post-stroke patients, in patients with orthopedic pathologies, and cardiovascular incidents) [ 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 ]. Aging effects can be identified with the Timed-Up-and-Go test, and it could be supplemented with smart technology to be used in clinical practice [ 29 ].…”

Due to the increasing age of the European population, there is a growing interest in performing research that will aid in the timely and unobtrusive detection of emerging diseases. For such tasks, mobile devices have several sensors, facilitating the acquisition of diverse data. This study focuses on the analysis of the data collected from the mobile devices sensors and a pressure sensor connected to a Bitalino device for the measurement of the Timed-Up and Go test. The data acquisition was performed within different environments from multiple individuals with distinct types of diseases. Then this data was analyzed to estimate the various parameters of the Timed-Up and Go test. Firstly, the pressure sensor is used to extract the reaction and total test time. Secondly, the magnetometer sensors are used to identify the total test time and different parameters related to turning around. Finally, the accelerometer sensor is used to extract the reaction time, total test time, duration of turning around, going time, return time, and many other derived metrics. Our experiments showed that these parameters could be automatically and reliably detected with a mobile device. Moreover, we identified that the time to perform the Timed-Up and Go test increases with age and the presence of diseases related to locomotion.
