As the assessment of most movement disorders depends on subjective rating scales and clinical observations, the objective quantification of activity remains a challenging area. The purpose of our study was to verify whether an impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) radar sensor technique is useful for an objective measurement of activity. Thus, we proposed an activity measurement algorithm and quantitative activity indicators for clinical assistance, based on IR-UWB radar sensors. The received signals of the sensor are sufficiently sensitive to measure heart rate, and multiple sensors can be used together to track the positions of people. To measure activity using these two features, we divided movement into two categories. For verification, we divided these into several scenarios, depending on the amount of activity, and compared with an actigraphy sensor to confirm the clinical feasibility of the proposed indicators. The experimental environment is similar to the environment of the comprehensive attention test (CAT), but with the inclusion of the IR-UWB radar. The experiment was carried out, according to a predefined scenario. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed indicators can measure movement quantitatively, and can be used as a quantified index to clinically record and compare patient activity. Therefore, this study suggests the possibility of clinical application of radar sensors for standardized diagnosis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19030688","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,11]],"date-time":"2019-02-11T03:26:01Z","timestamp":1549855561000},"page":"688","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Quantified Activity Measurement for Medical Use in Movement Disorders through IR-UWB Radar Sensor"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7655-6588","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daehyeon","family":"Yim","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Hanyang University, 222 Wangsimini-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9187-0049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Won","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Hanyang University, 222 Wangsimini-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2367-0934","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Johanna","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Hanyang University Medical Center, 222-1 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"},{"name":"Hanyang Inclusive Clinic for Developmental Disorders, Hanyang University Medical Center, 222-1 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kangryul","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Hanyang University Medical Center, 222-1 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Ahn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry, Hanyang University College of Medicine, 222 Wangsimini-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"},{"name":"Hanyang Inclusive Clinic for Developmental Disorders, Hanyang University Medical Center, 222-1 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Young-Hyo","family":"Lim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Cardiology, Department of Internal medicine, Hanyang University College of Medicine, 222 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Seok","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Hanyang University College of Medicine, 222 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5956-9208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hyun-Kyung","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Hanyang University College of Medicine, 222 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"},{"name":"Hanyang Inclusive Clinic for Developmental Disorders, Hanyang University Medical Center, 222-1 Wangsimni-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2393-1428","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sung","family":"Cho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Hanyang University, 222 Wangsimini-ro, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 04763, Korea"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"202","DOI":"10.3389\/fnins.2018.00202","article-title":"Quantifying motor impairment in movement disorders","volume":"12","author":"FitzGerald","year":"2018","journal-title":"Front.
