Overnight sleep staging is an important part of the diagnosis of various sleep disorders. Polysomnography is the gold standard for sleep staging, but less-obtrusive sensing modalities are of emerging ...
Several raw-data processing software for accelerometer-measured physical activity (PA) exist, but whether results agree has not been assessed. We examined the agreement between three different softwar...
Treating opioid use disorder (OUD) is a significant healthcare challenge in the United States. Remaining abstinent from opioids is challenging for individuals with OUD due to withdrawal symptoms that ...
To describe and compare physical fitness variables according to compliance with the recommendations of physical activity, measured by accelerometry....
The sample gathered 120 students, 57 boys and 63 girls aged 9 to 11 years. The variables analyzed were: weight, stature, BMI, skinfolds, waist circumference, agility, flexibility, speed and strength o...
The students who followed the recommendation showed significantly lower values compared to those who did not for adiposity (sum of 7 skinfolds); body weight; body mass index (BMI) and abdominal streng...
Students who complied with physical activity recommendations had better body composition and more abdominal strength than those who did not....
Background Early diagnosis is essential for effective stroke therapy. Strokes in hospitalized patients are associated with worse outcomes compared with strokes in the community. We derived and validat...
Currently, there is no way to assess mechanical loading variables such as peak ground reaction forces (pGRF) and peak loading rate (pLR) in clinical settings. The purpose of this study was to develop ...
Identifying the best analytical approach for capturing moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) using accelerometry is complex but inconsistent approaches employed in research and surveillance li...
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) can lead to functional impotence and reduced physical activity (PA) in patients. The objective of this study was to monitor the daily PA of children aged 6-18 years...
Patients volunteering for the study wore an accelerometer for 7 consecutive days; data were evaluated using a wGT3X ActiGraph™. The 2010 World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations were used for c...
We collected accelerometry data for 24 patients of the University Hospital Center (UHC) of Besançon. Only two patients did not reach the recommendations of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). Time spent i...
Almost all of the patients of the UHC of Besançon who accepted the study reached the WHO recommendations. Having an active disease, having painful upper limbs, or being a girl is associated with decre...
Upper limb (UL) paresis is one of the most common stroke consequences and significantly restricts patients in everyday life. Instruments objectively measuring direct arm use in stroke patients are lac...
Articles were systematically searched in PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, PeDro and LIVIVO through December 12...
Excluding duplicates, the initial search yielded 477 records. In the 34 eligible studies accelerometers was used with a predominance of tri-axial accelerometery (n = 12) and only few with two-axial ap...
Accelerometers can provide reliable data about daily arm use frequency but do not supply information about the movements´ quality and restrictions on everyday activities of stroke patients. Depending ...
Efforts to study performance fatigability have been limited because of measurement constrains. Accelerometry and advanced statistical methods may enable us to quantify performance fatigability more gr...
Sixty-three older adults from our cross-sectional study (mean age, 78 yr; 56% women; 88% White) completed fast-paced ( n = 59) and/or usual-paced 400-m walks ( n = 56) with valid accelerometer data. P...
Higher PPFI scores (higher score = greater fatigability) correlated with worse physical function, slower chair stands speed and gait speed, worse cardiorespiratory fitness and mobility, and lower leg ...
Our findings revealed that the objective PPFI is a sensitive measure of performance fatigability for older adults and can serve as a risk assessment tool or outcome measure in future studies and clini...
