The expertise of our Mobilisers goes far beyond the Mobilise-D patient groups. Ultimately our findings should benefit anyone with mobility challenges, such as people suffering from Huntington’s Disease. Heiko Gaßner and colleagues explain more in their paper investigating gait variability as digital biomarkers of severity in Huntington’s disease. In this study, characteristic features of gait…
The Mobilise-D technical validation training in Newcastle is happening this week (February 24-26th), and Mobilisers from Newcastle and Northumbria University are focused and ready to learn. With assistance from the Universities of Sassari and Sheffield, the Mobilise-D assessors will get a firm grasp on how to properly set up the necessary equipment and how to…
New publication by Rana Zia Ur Rehman & Christopher Buckley with contributors from Mobilise-D! The way we walk (gait) can tell us about our health, risk of falls and brain function, and gait problems are focal in Parkinson’s disease. Gait can be measured using wearable technology (e.g. sensors) and thanks to machine learning models we…
Measuring patients with wearable devices in their unsupervised daily-living environment holds the promise of improving clinical decision making and care of movement disorders, as it can capture fluctuating and rare events in addition to more typical behaviour. However, we still face a few challenges. Read more about these challenges and the steps to overcome them…
Mobilise-D featured prominently at this year’s Mobility and Exercise in the Elderly (MobEx) meeting in Bologna, Italy, through two dedicated sessions, one with technical and one with clinical perspectives. MobEx is an annual meeting where a dedicated network of researchers in the fields of mobility, exercise, and their measurement meets and shares experiences, challenges, and…
