Clip-On IMU System for Assessing Age-Related Changes in Hand Functions
Hand functions affect the instrumental activities of daily living. While functional outcome measures, such as a targeted box and block test, have been widely used in clinical settings and provide a useful measure of overall performance, the advent of a wearable Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU)-based system enables the examination of the specific performance and kinematic parameters of hand movements. This study proposed a novel clip-on IMU system to facilitate the clinically fitted measurements of fine-motor finger and wrist joint movements. Clinical validation was conducted with the aim of characterising age-related changes in hand functions, namely grasping, transporting, and releasing blocks. Eighteen young (age 20–31) and sixteen healthy older adults (age 75–89) were evaluated during the box and block test. The results demonstrated that an older age was characterized by slower movements and higher variations and kinematic alterations in the hand functions, such as a larger range of motions at the fingers as well as kinematic trajectories. The proposed IMU system and subsequent validations highlight the value of the performance and kinematics parameters for a more comprehensive understanding of fine-motor finger and wrist movements that could shed light on further implementations in clinical and practical settings.
