Bridging the gap between laboratory and clinic using low cost, high tech physical function assessment tools

用于评估站立平衡、步态和日常生活活动的金标准测试方案通常是治疗干预的主要焦点。它们通常包含多个测力平台和3D运动分析，这提供了有价值的信息，但所需的时间，成本和基础设施排除了它们在正常临床实践中的使用。该奖学金研究低成本，广泛可用的替代品，如视频游戏设备和智能手机的潜在功效。

Gold-standard testing protocols for assessing standing balance, gait and activities of daily living is often a primary focus for therapeutic interventions. They often incorporate multiple force platforms and 3D motion analysis, which provide valuable information however the time, cost and infrastructure required excludes their use in normal clinical practice. This fellowship examines the potential efficacy of low cost, widely available alternatives such as video gaming devices and smart phones.
