Zusammenfassung:Summary Background & aims Objective assessment of daily physical activity (PA) by body-worn accelerometers offers potential as a novel endpoint in the clinical management of advanced cancer patients. This study aimed to assess criterion-based validity of an accelerometer-based activity monitoring system (AM-system), ActivPAL™, using two different methods. Methods Advanced cancer in patients and outpatients (Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) 40–100). ActivPAL™ measurements were validated against (i) observations and (ii) energy expenditure (EE) measured by 2-week doubly-labelled water (DLW) protocol. Results Absolute errors for mean time spent in different body positions (
