Title: | Sensor-based systems for the measurement of Functional Reach Test results: a systematic review | Authors: | Francisco, Luís Duarte, João Godinho, António Nunes Zdravevski, Eftim Albuquerque, Carlos Pires, Ivan Miguel Coelho, Paulo Jorge |
Issue Date: | 2024 | Publisher: | PeerJ | Journal: | PeerJ. Computer science | Abstract: | The measurement of Functional Reach Test (FRT) is a widely used assessment tool in various fields, including physical therapy, rehabilitation, and geriatrics. This test evaluates a person's balance, mobility, and functional ability to reach forward while maintaining stability. Recently, there has been a growing interest in utilizing sensor-based systems to objectively and accurately measure FRT results. This systematic review was performed in various scientific databases or publishers, including PubMed Central, IEEE Explore, Elsevier, Springer, the Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), and considered studies published between January 2017 and October 2022, related to methods for the automation of the measurement of the Functional Reach Test variables and results with sensors. Camera-based devices and motion-based sensors are used for Functional Reach Tests, with statistical models extracting meaningful information. Sensor-based systems offer several advantages over traditional manual measurement techniques, as they can provide objective and precise measurements of the reach distance, quantify postural sway, and capture additional parameters related to the movement. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12188/33509 | DOI: | 10.7717/peerj-cs.1823 |
