Abstract

Clinicians tailor intervention in chronic pain rehabilitation to movement related self-efficacy (MRSE). This motivates us to investigate automatic MRSE estimation in this context towards the development of technology that is able to provide appropriate support in the absence of a clinician. We first explored clinical observer estimation, which showed that body movement behaviours, rather than facial expressions or engagement behaviours, were more pertinent to MRSE estimation during physical activity instances. Based on our findings, we built a system that estimates MRSE from bodily expressions and bodily muscle activity captured using wearable sensors. Our results (F1 scores of 0.95 and 0.78 in two physical exercise types) provide evidence of the feasibility of automatic MRSE estimation to support chronic pain physical rehabilitation. We further explored automatic estimation of MRSE with a reduced set of low-cost sensors to investigate the possibility of embedding such capabilities in ubiquitous wearable devices to support functional activity. Our evaluation for both exercise and functional activity resulted in F1 score of 0.79. This result suggests the possibility of (and calls for more studies on) MRSE estimation during everyday functioning in ubiquitous settings. We provide a discussion of the implication of our findings for relevant areas.
