Prediction of Challenging Behaviors Associated with Profound Autism in a Classroom Setting Using Wearable Sensors

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is characterized by challenges with social interaction and communication and by restricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior, with significant variability in presentation. Approximately a quarter of children with ASD are classified as having profound autism, who often exhibit challenging behaviors, such as self-injurious behavior, aggression, elopement, or pica, that pose serious safety risks and disrupt learning in educational settings. Prior work has applied wearable sensors and machine learning to detect challenging behaviors, but has been largely confined to controlled laboratory environments. This work demonstrates that predicting challenging behavior episodes is feasible in a real-world special education classroom. We collected approximately 110.7 hours of labeled multimodal wearable data comprising accelerometry, electrodermal activity (EDA), and skin temperature from 9 children and young adults aged 10 to 21 years across standard classroom sessions. We fine-tuned state-of-the-art foundation models for multimodal wearable time-series analysis and show that challenging behavior episodes can be predicted up to 10 minutes in advance with an AUC-ROC of 0.78. These results establish a concrete foundation for developing proactive in-class intervention systems that enable teachers to minimize the safety risks of challenging behaviors in special education classrooms

Quantifying Rodda and Graham Gait Classification from 3D Makerless Kinematics derived from a Single-view Video in a Heterogeneous Pediatric Clinical Cohort

Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological disorder of movement and the most common cause of lifelong physical disability in childhood. Approximately 75% of children with CP are ambulatory, and accurate gait assessment is central to preserving walking function, which deteriorates by mid-adulthood in a quarter to half of adults with CP. The Rodda and Graham classification system quantifies sagittal-plane gait deviations using ankle and knee z-scores derived from 3D Instrumented Gait Analysis (3D-IGA), but 3D-IGA is expensive and limited to specialized centers, while observational assessment shows only moderate inter-rater agreement. We developed a markerless gait analysis pipeline that quantifies Rodda and Graham knee and ankle z-scores directly from single-view clinical gait videos. Across 1,058 bilateral limb samples from 529 trials of 152 children (88 male, 63 female; age 12.1 $\pm$ 4.0 years; 60 distinct primary diagnoses, cerebral palsy the most common at $n=54$), the sagittal-view model achieved $R^2 = 0.80 \pm 0.02$ and CCC $= 0.89 \pm 0.02$ for knee z-scores and $R^2 = 0.57 \pm 0.02$ and CCC $= 0.72 \pm 0.02$ for ankle z-scores against 3D-IGA. Binary screening for excess knee flexion achieves AUROC $= 0.88$, correctly identifying 83% of affected children, and applying Rodda and Graham rules yields $43 \pm 1$% 7-class accuracy with macro-AUROC $= 0.78 \pm 0.01$, ankle prediction error remaining the primary bottleneck. Beyond cross-sectional screening, continuous z-scores support longitudinal trajectory tracking across visits, providing a quantitative substrate for monitoring disease progression and treatment response unavailable from observational scales. These results demonstrate the feasibility of video-based z-score estimation, excess-flexion screening, and longitudinal trajectory tracking as a path toward scalable, objective gait assessment in low-resource clinical settings.

IMUTube: Automatic Extraction of Virtual on-body Accelerometry from Video for Human Activity Recognition

The lack of large-scale, labeled data sets impedes progress in developing robust and generalized predictive models for on-body sensor-based human activity recognition (HAR). Labeled data in human activity recognition is scarce and hard to come by, as sensor data collection is expensive, and the annotation is time-consuming and error-prone. To address this problem, we introduce IMUTube, an automated processing pipeline that integrates existing computer vision and signal processing techniques to convert videos of human activity into virtual streams of IMU data. These virtual IMU streams represent accelerometry at a wide variety of locations on the human body. We show how the virtually-generated IMU data improves the performance of a variety of models on known HAR datasets. Our initial results are very promising, but the greater promise of this work lies in a collective approach by the computer vision, signal processing, and activity recognition communities to extend this work in ways that we outline. This should lead to on-body, sensor-based HAR becoming yet another success story in large-dataset breakthroughs in recognition.
