Interpretation of instrumented movement analysis in neurorehabilitation
With advancing technology, healthcare professionals now have greater access to quantifying human movement, which will increasingly influence health assessments. However, interpreting movement data, particularly for individuals with neurological impairments, remains challenging. Our project aims to explore experts' insights on interpreting such data. Through multi-center focus groups, we gather healthcare professionals' perspectives to enhance informed decision-making in clinical settings.
Keywords: Neurorehabilitation, Focus Groups, Instrumented Movement Analysis
With the emergence of new technologies, the ability to quantify human movement is becoming increasingly accessible to healthcare professionals. In the coming years, instrumented movement analysis will play a significant role in capturing the individual's health status. A precise and objective evaluation of movement quality and real-life physical activities broadens the understanding of human movement behavior and allows for individualized intervention approaches. However, the interpretation of clinically relevant parameters of individuals with neurological impairments remains challenging.
**Workplace**: Lake Lucerne Institute AG, Switzerland, remote 50%
**Project duration**: 3-6 months (flexible) at 100%, starting from mid-April 2024
**Supervision**: Andre Böni cand. PhD; Johannes Pohl cand. PhD; Laura Mayrhuber cand. PhD; Sabrina Amrein MSc

The primary objective of this project is to investigate experts' experience and knowledge of relevant information needed to interpret quantified movement analysis.
To achieve this goal, we conduct focus groups using a multi-center approach, collecting healthcare professionals' opinions on clinical relevance and optimal use for enhancing informed decision-making.

**Our institute:** Lake Lucerne Institute AG is a non-profit research center located in Vitznau, on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland. Our institute is focused on developing and implementing technological solutions to improve neurorehabilitation outcomes. We work on digital, objective assessment solutions and their implementation into clinical routines. These are used to evaluate novel interventions applying a broad range of tools (fMRI, EEG, neurophysiology, movement analysis, robotics). The foundation works closely with a neurorehabilitation center to ensure true multi-stakeholder integration within each research project.
We offer:
- A unique and stimulating work environment combining world-class neurorehabilitation practice with cutting-edge research.
- Direct exposure and deep integration with a clinical research environment, incorporating a wide range of practitioners and patients.
- On-site accommodation and free parking in Vitznau, Switzerland
