Recovery of physical activity levels in adolescents after lower limb fractures: a longitudinal, accelerometry-based activity monitor study
BACKGROUND In adolescents, loss of bone mineral mass usually occurs during phases of reduced physical activity (PA), such as when an injured extremity spends several weeks in a cast. We recorded the PA of adolescents with lower limb fractures during the cast immobilization, at 6 and at 18 months after the fracture, and we compared these values with those of healthy controls. METHODS Fifty ado...
متن کاملDecrease of physical activity level in adolescents with limb fractures: an accelerometry-based activity monitor study
BACKGROUND Immobilization and associated periods of inactivity can cause osteopenia, the physiological response of the bone to disuse. Mechanical loading plays an essential role in maintaining bone integrity. Skeletal fractures represent one cause of reduction of the physical activity (PA) level in adolescents. The purpose of this study was to quantify the reduction of PA in adolescents with li...
متن کاملPhysical activity among hospitalised older people: insights from upper and lower limb accelerometry.
BACKGROUND Few studies have explored the activity levels of hospitalised older people and the intra-daily activity patterns in this group have not been described. AIMS To describe the quantity and daily pattern of physical activity among hospitalised older people using two accelerometers: the ankle-worn StepWatch Activity Monitor (SAM), and the wrist-worn GENEActiv. METHODS This cross-secti...
متن کاملObjective measurement of upper limb activity and mobility during everyday behavior using ambulatory accelerometry: the upper limb activity monitor.
Ambulatory accelerometry is a technique that allows objective measurement of aspects of everyday human behavior. The aim of our research has been to develop, validate, and apply this technique, which recently resulted in an upper limb activity monitor (ULAM). The ULAM consists of body-mounted acceleration sensors connected to a waist-worn data recorder and allows valid and objective assessment ...
متن کاملPhysical Activity Levels and Domains Assessed by Accelerometry in German Adolescents from GINIplus and LISAplus
BACKGROUND Physical activity (PA) is a well-known and underused protective factor for numerous health outcomes, and interventions are hampered by lack of objective data. We combined accelerometers with diaries to estimate the contributions to total activity from different domains throughout the day and week in adolescents. METHODS Accelerometric and diary data from 1403 adolescents (45% male,...
