No results posted yet for this study

Summary

20 patients who are diagnosed with NPH receive a set of 5 wearable gyroscopes (IMUs, ZurichMove sensors) for a period of 3 days for measurement and characterization of their walking in an ambulatory setting. At a follow-up 2 weeks to 6 months after CSF diversion surgery, the examination is repeated and improvement is measured. The data will be compared with a healthy group of 20 age- and gender-matched individuals as well a a group of 20 young individuals.

Conditions

  • Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (INPH)

Interventions

DEVICE

Characterization of walking pattern characteristics in an ambulatory setting using wearable IMUs (ZurichMOVE sensors)

All participants receive a set of 5 wearable IMUs for a period of 3 days. The IMUs are fixed at both wrists, ankles and one over the sternum. A 10-meter walking test, 180 degree turnaround test and normal walking at home are performed. Afterwards, the IMUs are removed for data extraction and evaluation. The patient group is examined a second time after CSF diversion surgery.
