AB AIM: To analyze the reliability and describe the parameterization with inertialsensors, of Romberg test in people who have had a stroke.METHODS: Romberg's Test was performed during 20 seconds in four differentsetting, depending from supporting leg and position of the eyes (opened eyes /dominant leg; closed eyes / dominant leg; opened eyes / non-dominant leg; closedeyes / non-dominant leg) in people who have suffered a stroke over a year ago.Two inertial sensors (sampling frequency 180Hz) were placed in lumbar (L5-S1) andin the trunk (T7). The test was performed three times for the four differentsettings. The outcome variables were extracted in each of the axes (X, Y, Z) (figure1). We considered as the maximum, minimum and mean velocity and the magnitude of the angulardisplacement for each of the sensors (Figure 2 shows an exampleof direct extraction of variables). Statistical Analysis: descriptiveanalysis of all outcome variables for each axis and sensor. Furtheranalysis of the internal consistency of the measure wasperformed by analysis interclass correlation (ICC) with aconfidence interval of 95%.RESULTS: Values obtained after statistical analysis show levelsof reliability ranging from 0.61 (Z axis speed - eyes closed / nondominantleg) and 0.92 (Y axis offset - opened eyes / dominant leg).The descriptive results of all outcome variables are shown in Table 1.CONCLUSION: Making inertial sensors in trunk and / or lumbar, inertial sensors are reliable tools forparameterizing Romberg test in different settings in people who have suffered stroke over a year ago.
