Annegarn J, Spruit MA, Uszko-Lencer NHMK, Vanbelle S, Savelberg HHCM, Schols AMWJ, Wouters EFM, Meijer K. Objective physical activity assessment in patients with chronic organ failure: a validation study of a new single-unit activity monitor.

<h4 id="absSec_2">Objectiveh4>

To validate a new activity monitor (CAM) in patients with chronic organ failure during 1 hour of unconstrained activity assessment.

<h4 id="absSec_3">Designh4>

A validation study in which participants wore a CAM (placed on the thigh) for 1 hour while they were videotaped. Participants were instructed to continue their normal daily routine at the rehabilitation center.

<h4 id="absSec_4">Settingh4>

CIRO+, A Centre of Expertise for Chronic Organ Failure.

<h4 id="absSec_5">Participantsh4>

Chronic organ failure patients (N=10) with a large range of functional exercise capacity.

<h4 id="absSec_6">Interventionsh4>

Not applicable.

<h4 id="absSec_7">Main Outcome Measureh4>

Agreement in time spent on activities and postures according to video and CAM.

<h4 id="absSec_8">Resultsh4>

Cohen kappa coefficients for transient events resulted in an almost perfect agreement (0.85&plusmn;0.08) between the CAM and video.

<h4 id="absSec_9">Conclusionsh4>

The CAM is a promising single-sensor unobtrusive tool for providing accurate data on the type and duration of daily activities in the home environment of patients with chronic organ failure.
