Accelerometry has become a mainstay approach for objectively monitoring children’s physical activity and sedentary time in epidemiological studies. The magnitude of effort underlying successful data ...

Sedentary lifestyle has reached pandemic levels among children across the world (Carson et al., 2016). The evidence from studies using accelerometry to assess sedentary behavior consistently suggests ...

Background: Mobility impairment is common in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) and can be assessed with clinical tests and surveys that have restricted ecological validity. Commercial ...

The aim of this study is to review accelerometer wear methods and correlations between accelerometry and physical activity questionnaire data, depending on participant characteristics. In most ...

Accelerometers provide an opportunity to expand standing balance assessments outside of the laboratory. The purpose of this narrative review is to show that accelerometers are accurate, objective, and ...

Wearable accelerometer devices measure free-living physical activity and sleep without relying on self-reports. Their utility to measure and compare recovery of physical function after cardiac surgery ...

Abstract: Accelerometry has the potential to measure balance, defined as high-frequency body sway, ambulatorily in a simple and inexpensive way. The aim of this study was to determine and compare the ...

Objective The ‘single-item measure’ was developed as a short self-report tool for assessing physical activity. The aim of this study was to test the criterion validity of the single-item measure ...

Purpose This paper describes the data collection and management methods for the Cancer Prevention Study-3 (CPS-3) Accelerometry Substudy, a nested cohort of device-based physical activity and ...

Nestle has been granted a patent for a device that can screen swallowing safety and efficiency. The device uses accelerometry data to determine throat vibrations and perform various methods to ...
