Leaping and Accelerometry: A Theoretical Approach [PDF]

, 2008
Accelerometry has always been a popular method of monitoring locomotor activity but its use is becoming more widespread due to the easy availability of low cost, low power sensors. However one of the major problems with interpreting accelerometer data is

Differences in physical activity time-use composition associated with cardiometabolic risks [PDF]

, 2019
This study investigates the association between the overall physical activity composition of the day (sedentary behavior (SB), light intensity physical activity (LIPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA)) and cardiometabolic health, and ...

A randomized trial of I‐SLEEP: A patient education and empowerment intervention on inpatient sleep duration and medical sleep disruptions

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sleep is essential for recovery in hospitalized patients, yet frequent disruptions from medical care make rest difficult. Most prior efforts have focused on environmental modifications, often overlooking patients' role in advocating for their sleep.

Botulinum Toxin Efficacy in Upper Limb Tremor: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Essential tremor (ET) and dystonic tremor syndrome (DTS) can be treated using botulinum toxin (BoNT) injections. Previous reviews lacked an assessment of the certainty of evidence and focused solely on clinician‐reported outcomes. Additionally, studies have demonstrated interindividual variability in BoNT efficacy. Objective The aim

Bioclimatic, demographic and anthropogenic correlates of grizzly bear activity patterns in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

Oikos, EarlyView.
Plasticity of diel activity rhythms may be a key element for adaptations of wildlife populations to changing environmental conditions. In the last decades, grizzly bears Ursus arctos in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) have experienced notable environmental fluctuations, including changes in availability of food sources and severe droughts ...

Quantitative classification of pediatric swallowing through accelerometry [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2012
Abstract Background Dysphagia or swallowing disorder negatively impacts a child’s health and development. The gold standard of dysphagia detection is videofluoroscopy which exposes the child to ionizing radiation, and requires specialized clinical expertise and expensive institutionally-based equipment, precluding day-

Sleep assessment using accelerometry: Not all algorithms are equal

Sleep Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Study objectives Accelerometry devices are increasingly used to assess sleep. However, whether different algorithms provide consistent estimates remains uncertain. This study compared sleep parameters derived from two accelerometry‐based algorithms and a self‐reported sleep journal.

Patterns of Sedentary Time and Quality of Life in Women With Fibromyalgia: Cross-Sectional Study From the al-Ándalus Project [PDF]

, 2019
Background: Sedentary time (ST) has been associated with detrimental health outcomes in fibromyalgia. Previous evidence in the general population has shown that not only is the total amount of ST harmful but the pattern of accumulation of sedentary ...

Using programmable infusion pump in avian species – a validation methodology in geese

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.
Wildlife face anthropogenic and natural stressors that affect their physiology and behaviour. The activity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis and glucocorticoid (GC) production is intrinsically linked with energy regulation and environmental stressors.

Accelerometry and Self-report in Sedentary Populations [PDF]

American Journal of Health Behavior, 2011
To determine whether self-reported exercise duration and intensity matched accelerometer data in sedentary endometrial cancer survivors and age-matched controls.Participants were asked to wear an accelerometer and self-report exercise bouts, duration, and intensity for one week.
