AI-based Model for Rehabilitation Engagement and Motor Performance Evaluation in Pediatric Patients: A Pilot Study

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Neuromotor Impairments

In brief

What is the purpose of this study? This study aims to evaluate the usability and feasibility of an artificial intelligence-based model designed to monitor in real-time the engagement and motor performance of pediatric patients during technology-assisted rehabilitation. Who can take part? 15 participants between 5 and 17 years old with neuromotor impairments will take part, along with at least 5 of their referring physiotherapists. What will happen in the study? Each pediatric patient will take part in a single, 1-hour rehabilitation session using either the Lokomat or GRAIL system, according to their standard clinical prescription. During the session, the physiotherapist will have access to a display showing real-time data from the AI model, including the patient's heart rate, engagement level, pleasantness, activation, and motor performance. At the end of the session, the physiotherapist will complete a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire and provide direct feedback on how to improve the model. Why is this study important? Assessing the usability of this real-time monitoring tool is a necessary step to understand if it is practical for clinical use. Providing therapists with objective, real-time insights into a child's psychological and physical state can ultimately help tailor therapy to the specific needs of each patient, improving the overall rehabilitation experience.
