Effect of Lower Limb vs. Abdominal Compression on Mobility in Orthostatic Hypotension: A Single-Blinded, Randomized, Controlled, Cross-Over Pilot Study in Parkinson's Disease

Background: Orthostatic hypotension (OH) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is frequent and associated with impairments in quality of life and reduced activities of daily living. Abdominal binders (AB) and compression stockings (CS) have been shown to be effectiv ...

Toward an objective assessment of mobility in clinical and daily activity settings

Arash Atrsaei

Quantification of mobility is the key to monitor the progression of mobility disorders as well as the effect of an intervention. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) with dedicated algorithms can quantify postural transitions and gait as the two key aspects o ...

Gait speed in clinical and daily living assessments in Parkinson’s disease patients: performance versus capacity

Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani, Farzin Dadashi, Arash Atrsaei

Gait speed often referred as the sixth vital sign is the most powerful biomarker of mobility. While a clinical setting allows the estimation of gait speed under controlled conditions that present functional capacity, gait speed in real-life conditions prov ...

Comparison of Laboratory and Daily-Life Gait Speed Assessment during ON and OFF States in Parkinson’s Disease

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Atrsaei

Accurate assessment of Parkinson’s disease (PD) ON and OFF states in the usual environment is essential for tailoring optimal treatments. Wearables facilitate measurements of gait in novel and unsupervised environments; however, differences between unsuper ...

Instrumented 5-Time Sit-To-Stand Test: Parameters Predicting Serious Falls beyond the Duration of the Test

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Yves Henchoz, Arash Atrsaei

Background: Falls are a major cause of injuries in older adults. To evaluate the risk of falls in older adults, clinical assessments such as the 5-time sit-to-stand (5xSTS) test can be performed. The development of inertial measurement units (IMUs) has pro ...

Toward a remote assessment of walking bout and speed: application in patients with multiple sclerosis

Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani, Farzin Dadashi, Arash Atrsaei

Gait speed as a powerful biomarker of mobility is mostly assessed in controlled environments, e.g. in the clinic. With wearable inertial sensors, gait speed can be estimated in an objective manner. However, most of the previous works have validated the gai ...

Effect of Fear of Falling on Mobility Measured During Lab and Daily Activity Assessments in Parkinson’s Disease

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Atrsaei

In chronic disorders such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), fear of falling (FOF) is associated with falls and reduced quality of life. With inertial measurement units (IMUs) and dedicated algorithms, different aspects of mobility can be obtained during supervi ...

Postural transitions detection and characterization in healthy and patient populations using a single waist sensor

Kamiar Aminian, Benoît Mariani, Farzin Dadashi, Arash Atrsaei

Background: Sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit transitions are frequent daily functional tasks indicative of muscle power and balance performance. Monitoring these postural transitions with inertial sensors provides an objective tool to assess mobility in both ...
