Ground properties influence various aspects of mobile machinery navigation including localization, mobility status or task execution.
The admission mobility status accounted for 61% and 60% of variability of the discharge mobility status for the stroke and TBI groups, respectively.
Admission mobility status using the COVS was an excellent predictor of discharge mobility status and rehabilitation LOS in stroke and TBI patients.
Main Outcome Measures: Patients' mobility status was assessed using the RMI administered at admission and discharge.
Adjustment for age, gender, mobility status, and disorientation did not change the general picture.
Conclusions: In most cases, mobility status had not yet stabilized at hospital discharge.
Results: With age and time since injury controlled in the model, the TBI group showed a significantly higher mobility status on admission and discharge over the stroke group, but the change (improvement) in mobility status did not differ.
Conclusions: The TBI group showed a higher mobility status at admission and discharge from inpatient rehabilitation than the stroke group; however, the rate of improvement (improvement in mobility status per day) did not differ between groups.
Either the admission mobility status or the physical therapist's prediction of the discharge status could be used to determine the actual discharge mobility status, although the physical therapist's predictions were more accurate than using a statistical model.
To identify the neuromuscular attributes that are associated with self-reported mobility status among older primary care patients.
Main Outcome Measures: Clinical Outcome Variable Scale (COVS), a 13-item scale of mobility status (measured on admission and discharge from inpatient rehabilitation), and rehabilitation LOS.
