Outcome measures
Primary outcome
For the validity part, the main study parameter is the intraclass correlation
coefficient of the data from the DynMetrics system and the Vicon system.
For the usability part, the main study parameter is the usability of the
DynMetrics system as quantified by the System Usability Scale.
Secondary outcome
For the validity part, see primary study parameters.
For the usability part, the main study parameter is the usability of the
DynMetrics system as quantified by a semi-structured interview.
Background summary
Monitoring the recovery of walking ability, and more specifically dynamic
stability and walking speed, is important during stroke rehabilitation. The
current measurement systems that are able to monitor these variables are
expensive, time consuming, and difficult to use. This limits their usability
for daily clinical practice. The University of Osnabrück developed a
measurement system, the DynMetrics system, that can measure dynamic stability
as well as walking speed in an easy and fast way. The performance of the
measurement system in healthy subjects was promising. It is, however, unknown
how the measurement system performs in stroke survivors. In addition, it is
unknown how physiotherapists rate the usability of the measurement system and
what the added value of the gathered data is for daily clinical care.
Study objective
For the reliability part, our objective to have an initial understanding of the
validity of the DynMetrics measurement system when compared to the Vicon system
(gold standard). For the usability part, our objective is to quantify the
usability of the DynMetrics system and the usability of the data from the
viewpoint of physiotherapists.
Study design
Observational pilot study.
Study burden and risks
The burden and risk associated with participation is low, as we will be
performing non-invasive measurements of walking. The distance that participants
will have to walk is comparable to the distance that is normally walked during
a therapy session. Participants will not benefit from participation.

Inclusion criteria
Reliability
- Understand Dutch or English;
- Able to follow simple instructions;
- Experience mobility-related walking problems (FAC score between 3 and 5, as determined by the treating physiotherapist).;Usability
- Work as a physiotherapist at Roessingh, Center for Rehabilitation
- Treating stroke survivors, either in- or outpatient
Exclusion criteria
Validity
- Require physical support of a physiotherapist during walking (the DynMetrics system might encounter problems when two bodies are so close together that they are hard to distinguish from one another);
- Are using a stroller (this might obscure the foot positioning which would be problematic for the DynMetrics system).;Usability
No specific exclusion criteria
