Posture and Activity Detection Using a Tri-axial Accelerometer
Quantifying activity levels among healthy older adults and patients can provide objective information on sedentary behavior and physical function [1]. In order to accurately quantify activity in the free-living environment, a robust method for classifying posture and activity needs to be established. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to validate the identification of static postures and ...
متن کاملStep Counts Using a Tri-axial Accelerometer during Activity
Physical activity has been associated with health improvements in a number of populations. Step counting is one of the most commonly used measures of physical activity [1]. Due to their small size and light weight, the use of wearable sensors for step counts has been investigated in many studies [2, 3] as they are suitable for home deployment. One of the main issues with step counts as a physic...
متن کاملConcurrent Validity of a Tri-axial Accelerometer for Measures of Gait Variability
INTRODUCTION Accelerometers are becoming an increasingly important tool in the study of human movement. Their ease and affordability, combined with the potential to collect large amounts of continuous data outside the laboratory setting makes them excellent tools for gait analysis. Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of a single tri-axial accelerometer in measuring mean spatiotemporal p...
متن کاملPredicting Lameness in Sheep Activity Using Tri-Axial Acceleration Signals
Lameness is a clinical symptom associated with a number of sheep diseases around the world, having adverse effects on weight gain, fertility, and lamb birth weight, and increasing the risk of secondary diseases. Current methods to identify lame animals rely on labour intensive visual inspection. The aim of this current study was to determine the ability of a collar, leg, and ear attached tri-ax...
متن کاملEstimating activity-related energy expenditure under sedentary conditions using a tri-axial seismic accelerometer.
Activity-related energy expenditure (AEE) is difficult to quantify, especially under sedentary conditions. Here, a model was developed using the detected type of physical activity (PA) and movement intensity (MI), based on a tri-axial seismic accelerometer (DynaPort MiniMod; McRoberts B.V., The Hague, the Netherlands), with energy expenditure for PA as a reference. The relation between AEE (J/m...
