Validity of the activPAL3 activity monitor in people moderately affected by Multiple Sclerosis

Validity of the activPAL3 activity monitor in people moderately affected by Multiple Sclerosis

Highlights • The criterion validity of the activPAL3 accelerometer in comparison to video observation was assessed in people with Multiple Sclerosis. • The activPAL3 underestimated steps and walking duration in those with slow cadences of less than 38 steps/minute. • The activPAL3 was accurate for m...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights • The criterion validity of the activPAL3 accelerometer in comparison to video observation was assessed in people with Multiple Sclerosis. • The activPAL3 underestimated steps and walking duration in those with slow cadences of less than 38 steps/minute. • The activPAL3 was accurate for measuring upright duration regardless of walking cadence.
