Feasibility and Discriminant Validity of Monitoring Movement Behavior of Adolescents With Cerebral Palsy
Condition(s) studied
Study summary
A new artificial intelligence network has been developed to monitor real-world daytime and nighttime movement behavior of adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP). The network uses seven wearable sensors to recognize lying, sitting, and standing, as well as walking and movements of both arms and legs. This information can be useful for healthcare professionals to understand and influence change in movement behavior, leading to benefits for the health of adolescents with cerebral palsy. This study aims to examine the acceptability and technical dependability of monitoring the movement behavior of adolescents with cerebral palsy for 72 hours using wearable sensors. Additionally, the study aims to evaluate the network's ability to discriminate between control and individuals with CP, different subgroups of individuals with CP, as well as the incidence of sleep disturbance in the entire cohort.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Gross Motor Functional Classification Scale - Expanded and revised (GMFCS-E&R) — Day one
The GMFCS-E\&R is a classification system comprising five levels that aims to describe the gross motor function of children and adolescents with CP. This system considers five age bands; in this case, we use the 12-18-year-old age band. Individuals with CP are classified as level I when capable of walking without limitations, while those with non-ambulatory functions are classified as levels IV and V - Jenkins Sleep Evaluation Questionnaire (JSEQ) - Danish version — Day one
The JSEQ evaluates the frequency and intensity of sleep difficulties in the past month. The questions pertain to difficulty falling asleep, frequent awakenings during the night, trouble remaining asleep, and subjective feelings of fatigue and sleepiness despite a typical night's rest. Respondents rate their experiences using a Likert-type scale, with the following response alternatives: not at all (1), 1 to 3 days (2), 4 to 7 days (3), 8 to 14 days (4), 15 to 21 days (5), and 22 to 28 days (6).
