Abstract:

In Year 3, we have completed the AAPS Aim 1, nearly completed data collection Aim 2, and have field tested it extensively Aim 3. We have also completed the xAAPS system Aim 4 which adapts the AAPS into a kinetic movement and balance assessment tool. Both the AAPS and xAAPS are available as plug-and-play style Windows applications that require no specialized expertise to install and operate. Our signal processing algorithms have been revised and are now able to produce movement scores whose difference from those made by human observers are statistically negligible. Although the AAPS and xAAPS both encode specific balance assessments, the underlying software engine is easily adaptable for a wide range of other tests.
