Comparison of Standard Clinical and Instrumented Physical Performance Tests in Discriminating Functional Status of High-Functioning People Aged 61–70 Years Old
Coni, Alice; Van Ancum, Jeanine M.; Bergquist, Ronny; Mikolaizak, A. Stefanie; Mellone, Sabato; Chiari, Lorenzo; Maier, Andrea B.; Pijnappels, Mirjam (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Assessment of physical performance by standard clinical tests such as the 30-s Chair Stand (30CST) and the Timed Up and Go (TUG) may allow early detection of functional decline, even in high-functioning populations, and ... -
Complexity of daily physical activity is more sensitive than conventional metrics to assess functional change in younger older adults
Zhang, Wei; Schwenk, Michael; Mellone, Sabato; Paraschiv-Ionescu, Anisoara; Vereijken, Beatrix; Pijnappels, Mirjam; Mikolaizak, A. Stefanie; Boulton, Elisabeth; Jonkman, Nini H.; Maier, Andrea B.; Klenk, Jochen; Helbostad, Jorunn L.; Taraldsen, Kristin; Aminian, Kamiar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)The emerging mHealth applications, incorporating wearable sensors, enables continuous monitoring of physical activity (PA). This study aimed at analyzing the relevance of a multivariate complexity metric in assessment of ... -

(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background: Behavioral change is the key to alter individuals’ lifestyle from sedentary to active. The aim was to assess the feasibility of delivering a Lifestyle-integrated Functional Exercise programme and evaluate the ... -
The FARSEEING real-world fall repository: a large-scale collaborative database to collect and share sensor signals from real-world falls
Klenk, Jochen; Schwickert, Lars; Palmerini, Luca; Mellone, Sabato; Bourke, Alan; Ihlen, Espen Alexander F.; Kerse, Ngaire; Hauer, Klaus; Pijnappels, Mirjam; Synofzik, Matthis; Srulijes, Karin; Maetzler, Walter; Helbostad, Jorunn L.; Zijlstra, Wiebren; Aminian, Kamiar; Todd, Christopher; Chiari, Lorenzo; Becker, Clemens (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background Real-world fall events objectively measured by body-worn sensors can improve the understanding of fall events in older people. However, these events are rare and hence challenging to capture. Therefore, the ... -
