description | In combination with appropriate data processing algorithms, wearable inertial sensors enable the measurement of motor activities in children's and adolescents' habitual environments after rehabilitation. However, existing algorithms were predominantly designed for adult patients, and their outcomes might not be relevant for a pediatric population. In this study, we identified the needs of pediatric rehabilitation to create the basis for developing new algorithms that derive clinically relevant outcomes for children and adolescents with neuromotor impairments. We conducted an international survey with health professionals of pediatric neurorehabilitation centers, provided them a list of 34 outcome measures currently used in the literature, and asked them to rate the clinical relevance of these measures for a pediatric population. The survey was completed by 62 therapists, 16 doctors, and 9 nurses of 16 different pediatric neurorehabilitation centers from Switzerland, Germany, and Austria. They had an average work experience of 13 ± 10 years. The most relevant outcome measures were the duration of lying, sitting, and standing positions; the amount of active self-propulsion during wheeling periods; the hand use laterality; and the duration, distance, and speed of walking periods. The health profession, work experience, and workplace had a minimal impact on the priorities of health professionals. Eventually, we complemented the survey findings with the family priorities of a previous study to provide developers with the clinically most relevant outcomes to monitor everyday life motor activities of children and adolescents with neuromotor impairments. |
