Article Synopsis
- Accurate assessment of physical activity in hospitalized geriatric rehabilitation patients can be challenging due to slow walking speeds and reliance on walking aids; this study aimed to validate the MOX activity monitor's effectiveness in identifying different activity levels such as sedentary, standing, and dynamic movements.
- The study involved 20 participants over the age of 70 who used walking aids; the MOX monitor was tested for one week, and activities were filmed to evaluate its classification accuracy, with results showing minimal error rates across all activities.
- The findings concluded that the MOX activity monitor is not only highly accurate but also easy to use, indicating its potential as a practical tool for assessing physical activity in this specific patient population.
DS-MS-TCN: Otago Exercises Recognition with a Dual-Scale Multi-Stage Temporal Convolutional Network.
IEEE J Biomed Health Inform
September 2024
The Otago Exercise Program (OEP) represents a crucial rehabilitation initiative tailored for older adults, aimed at enhancing balance and strength. Despite previous efforts utilizing wearable sensors for OEP recognition, existing studies have exhibited limitations in terms of accuracy and robustness. This study addresses these limitations by employing a single waist-mounted Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to recognize OEP exercises among community-dwelling older adults in their daily lives.

This systematic review with meta-analysis aimed to synthesize the literature on the prospective associations between sleep problems/disorders and chronic musculoskeletal pain. A comprehensive search across 6 databases identified prospective longitudinal cohort studies in adults examining the relationship between sleep problems/disorders and chronic musculoskeletal pain.

However, its specific interrelationship with neurocognitive disorders such as mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer's disease (AD) or other types of dementia has not been thoroughly explored. This meta-analysis aims to summarize the existing evidence on this interrelationship.
