However, the commonly used assessment scales have the following two drawbacks: (1) they are susceptible to subjective factors; (2) they only have several rating levels and are influenced by a ceiling effect, making it impossible to exactly detect any further improvement in the movement. Meanwhile, energy constraints are a primary design consideration in wearable sensor network systems since they are often battery-operated. Traditionally, for wearable sensor network systems that follow the Shannon\/Nyquist sampling theorem, there are many data that need to be sampled and transmitted. This paper proposes a novel wearable sensor network system to monitor and quantitatively assess the upper limb motion function, based on compressed sensing technology. With the sparse representation model, less data is transmitted to the computer than with traditional systems. The experimental results show that the accelerometer signals of Bobath handshake and shoulder touch exercises can be compressed, and the length of the compressed signal is less than 1\/3 of the raw signal length. More importantly, the reconstruction errors have no influence on the predictive accuracy of the Brunnstrom stage classification model. It also indicated that the proposed system can not only reduce the amount of data during the sampling and transmission processes, but also, the reconstructed accelerometer signals can be used for quantitative assessment without any loss of useful information.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s16020202","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,5]],"date-time":"2016-02-05T10:06:16Z","timestamp":1454666776000},"page":"202","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":28,"title":["A Compressed Sensing-Based Wearable Sensor Network for Quantitative Assessment of Stroke Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0217-7371","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lei","family":"Yu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Medical Optics, Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 88, Keling Road, Suzhou, Jiangsu 215163, China"},{"name":"University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daxi","family":"Xiong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Medical Optics, Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 88, Keling Road, Suzhou, Jiangsu 215163, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liquan","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Medical Optics, Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 88, Keling Road, Suzhou, Jiangsu 215163, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jiping","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Medical Optics, Suzhou Institute of Biomedical Engineering and Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 88, Keling Road, Suzhou, Jiangsu 215163, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,2,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"245","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)61953-4","article-title":"Global and regional burden of stroke during 1990\u20132010: Findings from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2010","volume":"383","author":"Feigin","year":"2014","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"117","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(14)61682-2","article-title":"Global, regional, and national age-sex specific all-cause and cause-specific mortality for 240 causes of death, 1990\u20132013: A systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2013","volume":"385","author":"Naghavi","year":"2015","journal-title":"The Lancet"},{"key":"ref_3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3651","DOI":"10.1161\/STROKEAHA.111.635755","article-title":"Stroke and stroke care in China huge burden, significant workload, and a national priority","volume":"42","author":"Liu","year":"2011","journal-title":"Stroke"},{"key":"ref_4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"217","DOI":"10.2340\/16501977-1115","article-title":"Home-based telerehabilitation shows improved upper limb function in adults with chronic stroke: A pilot study","volume":"45","author":"Langan","year":"2013","journal-title":"J.
