新冠疫情扰乱了需要与人类受试者接触的非必要的现场研究活动。虽然正在制定加强人类受试者研究的指导方针，但可以远程进行的研究的一个组成部分是对下肢功能和步态障碍的参与者进行筛查。在这篇评论中，我们总结了有证据支持的临床评估方法，这些方法有可能以安全的方式远程进行，以便对神经系统疾病患者的功能性移动状态做出初步判定。我们介绍的评估不需要复杂或昂贵的设备、专门的软件或经过培训的人员来操作。我们提出了实施远程功能评估的建议，以便为下肢神经康复研究招募参与者并使其持续进行，作为对新冠疫情的快速反应，并在当前疫情之后也能加以利用。我们还强调了与远程下肢评估的可行性和测量特性相关的关键研究空白，为未来的研究提供了推进远程评估和远程康复的机会。
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted non-essential in-person research activities that require contact with human subjects. While guidelines are being developed for ramping up human subjects research, one component of research that can be performed remotely is participant screening for lower limb function and gait impairments. In this commentary, we summarize evidence-supported clinical assessments that have potential to be conducted remotely in a safe manner, to make an initial determination of the functional mobility status of persons with neurological disorders. We present assessments that do not require complex or costly equipment, specialized software, or trained personnel to administer. We provide recommendations to implement remote functional assessments for participant recruitment and continuation of lower limb neurorehabilitation research as a rapid response to the COVID-19 pandemic and for utilization beyond the current pandemic. We also highlight critical research gaps related to feasibility and measurement characteristics of remote lower limb assessments, providing opportunities for future research to advance tele-assessment and tele-rehabilitation.
