    Abstract

    Continuous daily-life monitoring of balance control of stroke survivors in an ambulatory setting, is essential for optimal guidance of rehabilitation. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the relation between qualitative parameters of body balance while measuring in stroke patients in a simulated ambulatory setting using on-body measurement systems (Xsens MVN Biomech and the Xsens Instrumented Force Shoes) and the results of a generally accepted clinical balance assessments (e.g. Berg Balance Scale). A total of twenty stroke subjects will be included in a clinical study which is approved by the local medical ethical committee.
