Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The agreement, absolute and relative difference in time (postures/movements)
and number (steps) of the Activ8 compared to video observation.
Secondary outcome
not applicable
Background summary
Hospitalized patients spent most of their stay in sedentary behaviours, which
have a negative effect on health. Objective information about physical activity
could support clinical physical therapists and nurses to improve patient*s
physical activity. Current accelerometer-based activity monitors like the
Activ8, however, are not validated for monitoring a hospitalized population.
Study objective
The goal of the current study is to determine the validity of an activity
monitor (Activ8) for measuring body postures and movements and step count in a
hospitalized population.
Study design
In this validation study, upper leg accelerations will be automatically
converted classified into postures, movements and step count using a
accelerometer-based activity monitor (Activ8) during an activity protocol. The
classifications and step count will be validated against video recordings.
Intervention
Patients will perform a set of basic and functional activities. These
activities are commonly performed during hospital admission. The maximum
duration of the activity protocol is 1 hour with rest included.
Study burden and risks
The burden and/or risks related to participation is low. No physical or
psychological discomfort is expected. There is no benefit for the patient to
participate in the study.
