abstract = {In chronic disorders such as Parkinson's disease (PD), fear
of falling (FOF) is associated with falls and reduced
quality of life. With inertial measurement units (IMUs) and
dedicated algorithms, different aspects of mobility can be
obtained during supervised tests in the lab and also during
daily activities. To our best knowledge, the effect of FOF
on mobility has not been investigated in both of these
settings simultaneously. Our goal was to evaluate the effect
of FOF on the mobility of 26 patients with PD during
clinical assessments and 14 days of daily activity
monitoring. Parameters related to gait, sit-to-stand
transitions, and turns were extracted from IMU signals on
the lower back. Fear of falling was assessed using the Falls
Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) and the patients were
grouped as with (PD-FOF+) and without FOF (PD-FOF-).
Mobility parameters between groups were compared using
logistic regression as well as the effect size values
obtained using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. The peak angular
velocity of the turn-to-sit transition of the
timed-up-and-go (TUG) test had the highest discriminative
power between PD-FOF+ and PD-FOF- (r-value of effect size =
0.61). Moreover, PD-FOF+ had a tendency toward lower gait
speed at home and a lower amount of walking bouts,
especially for shorter walking bouts. The combination of lab
and daily activity parameters reached a higher
discriminative power [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.75]
than each setting alone (AUC = 0.68 in the lab, AUC = 0.54
at home). Comparing the gait speed between the two
assessments, the PD-FOF+ showed higher gait speeds in the
capacity area compared with their TUG test in the lab. The
mobility parameters extracted from both lab and home-based
assessments contribute to the detection of FOF in PD. This
study adds further evidence to the usefulness of mobility
assessments that include different environments and
assessment strategies. Although this study was limited in
the sample size, it still provides a helpful method to
consider the daily activity measurement of the patients with
PD into clinical evaluation. The obtained results can help
the clinicians with a more accurate prevention and treatment
strategy.},
