Validity of Micro-Data Loggers to Determine Walking Activity of Turkeys and Effects on Turkey Gait

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Accelerometers have the potential to provide objective, non-invasive methods for detecting changes in animal behavior and health. Our objectives were to: (1) determine the effects of micro-acceleration data loggers (accelerometers) and habituation to ...

A review of accelerometer-derived physical activity in the idiopathic inflammatory myopathies

open access: yesBMC Rheumatology, 2019
Background The idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) are a group of rare conditions characterised by muscle inflammation (myositis). Accurate disease activity assessment is vital in both clinical and research settings, however, current available ...

Electrostatic anti-spring-enhanced MEMS accelerometer with auto-tuning capability

open access: yesMicrosystems & Nanoengineering
This study introduces a MEMS accelerometer equipped with an adaptive tuning system for an electrostatic anti-spring. As the input acceleration increases, the sensitivity of the adaptive MEMS accelerometer decreases to compensate for the measurement range.

Agreement between pedometer and accelerometer in measuring physical activity in overweight and obese pregnant women

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2011
Background Inexpensive, reliable objective methods are needed to measure physical activity (PA) in large scale trials. This study compared the number of pedometer step counts with accelerometer data in pregnant women in free-living conditions to assess ...

Quasi-Static Calibration Method of a High-g Accelerometer

open access: yesSensors, 2017
To solve the problem of resonance during quasi-static calibration of high-g accelerometers, we deduce the relationship between the minimum excitation pulse width and the resonant frequency of the calibrated accelerometer according to the second-order ...
