Comparison of wrist actimetry variables of paretic upper limb use in post stroke patients for ecological monitoring

Résumé

Abstract Background To date, many wrist actimetric variables dedicated to measuring the upper limbs (UL) in post-stroke patients have been developed but very few comparisons have been made between them. The objective of this study was to compare different actimetric variables of the ULs between a stroke and healthy population. Methods Accelerometers were worn continuously for a period of 7 days on both wrists of 19 post-stroke hemiparetic patients as well as 11 healthy subjects. Various wrist actimetry variables were calculated, including the Jerk ratio 50 (JR50, cumulative probability that the Jerk Ratio is between 1 and 2), absolute (FuncUse30) and relative (FuncUseRatio30) amounts of functional use of movements of the ULs with angular amplitude greater than 30°, and absolute (UH) and relative (UseHoursRatio) use hours. Results FuncUse30, FuncUseRatio30, UH, UseHoursRatio and JR50 of the paretic UL of stroke patients were significantly lower than in the non-dominant UL of healthy subjects. Comparing the ratio variables in stroke patients, FuncUseRatio30 was significantly lower than UseHoursRatio and JR50, suggesting a more clinically sensitive variable to monitor. In an exploratory analysis, FuncUseRatio tends to decrease with angular range of motion for stroke patients while it remains stable and close to 1 for healthy subjects. UseHoursRatio, FuncUseRatio30 and JR50 show linear correlation with Fugl-Meyer score (FM), with r 2 equal to 0.53, 0.35 and 0.21, respectively. Conclusion This study determined that the FuncUseRatio30 variable provides the most sensitive clinical biomarker of paretic UL use in post-stroke patients, and that FuncUseHours—angular range of motion relationship allows the identification of the UL behaviour of each patient. This ecological information on the level of functional use of the paretic UL can be used to improve follow-up and develop patient-specific therapy.
