Abstract-A methodology for mapping in-home gait speed (IGS), measured unobtrusively and continuously in the homes of older adults, to Timed-Up-and-Go (TUG) time is presented. A Kinect-based gait system was used to collect in-home gait data on 15 older adults over time periods of up to 16 months. After filtering the TUG times to reduce noise, the IGS-based estimates are more accurate. The mapping of in-home sensor data to well studied domains facilitates clinical interpretation of the in-home data.
Stone et al. REF have developed an in-home Kinect based monitoring system for estimating the TUG time and the walking speed, with the purpose to map the in-home gait data to a domain that clinicians understand.
