Validity of hip-mounted uniaxial accelerometry with heart-rate monitoring vs. triaxial accelerometry in the assessment of free-living energy expenditure in young children: the IDEFICS Validation Study Universiteit Gent

Robert Ojiambo, Kenn Konstabel, Toomas Veidebaum, John Reilly, Vera Verbestel, Inge Huybrechts, Isabelle Sioen, José A Casajús, Luis A Moreno, German Vicente-Rodriguez, et al.
One of the aims of Identification and Prevention of Dietary-and Lifestyle-Induced Health Effects in Children and Infants (IDEFICS) validation study is to validate field measures of physical activity (PA) and energy expenditure (EE) in young children. This study compared the validity of uniaxial accelerometry with heart-rate (HR) monitoring vs. triaxial accelerometry against doubly labeled water (DLW) criterion method for assessment of ...

Assessing upper limb functional use in daily life using accelerometry Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven

Nieke Vets, Kaat Verbeelen, Jill Emmerzaal, Nele Devoogdt, Ann Smeets, Dieter Van Assche, Liesbet De Baets, An De Groef

BACKGROUND: Upper limb dysfunctions are common and disabling in daily life. Accelerometer data are commonly used to describe upper limb use. However, different data analyzing methods are used to describe or classify upper limb use.

RESEARCH QUESTION: The purpose of this systematic review was to present an overview of the assessment and data-analysis methods using accelerometery, and to specify their accuracy and validity assessing ...

The use of accelerometry in adolescents and its implementation with non-wear time activity diaries in free-living conditions Universiteit Gent

Charlene Ottevaere, Inge Huybrechts, Femke De Meester, Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij, Magdalena Cuenca-Garcia, Stefaan De Henauw
The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of a non-wearing time activity diary (hereafter non-wear activity diary) when using accelerometry in adolescents to provide insight into their physical activity levels. In total, 213 Belgian adolescents (89 boys, 124 girls) were eligible for this study. Adolescents wore an accelerometer for seven consecutive days and kept a non-wear activity diary. On the last day, they completed the International ...

Measuring physical activity using accelerometry in 13-15-year-old adolescents : the importance of including non-wear activities Universiteit Gent

Femke De Meester, Ilse De Bourdeaudhuij, Benedicte Deforche, Charlene Ottevaere, Greet Cardon
Objective: The present study aimed to examine the impact of non-wear activities registered in diaries when using accelerometers to assess physical activity (PA) in young adolescents. Design: Data arise from a large-scale cross-sectional study on PA. PA was objectively assessed using Actigraph (TM) accelerometers (Actigraph MTI, Manufacturing Technology Inc., Pensacola, FL, USA) during seven consecutive days. Non-wear time activity diaries were ...

Automated Detection of Tonic-Clonic Seizures using 3D Accelerometry and Surface Electromyography in Pediatric Patients Thomas More Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven

Bert Bonroy
Epileptic seizure detection is traditionally done using video/electroencephalography monitoring, which is not applicable for long-term home monitoring. In recent years, attempts have been made to detect the seizures using other modalities. In this study we investigated the application of four accelerometers (ACM) attached to the limbs and surface electromyography (sEMG) electrodes attached to upper arms for the detection of tonic-clonic ...

Thigh-worn accelerometry for measuring movement and posture across the 24-hour cycle : a scoping review and expert statement Universiteit Gent

Matthew L. Stevens, Nidhi Gupta, Elif Inan Eroglu, Patrick Joseph Crowley, Barbaros Eroglu, Adrian Bauman, Malcolm Granat, Leon Straker, Peter Palm, Sari Stenholm, et al.
IntroductionThe Prospective Physical Activity Sitting and Sleep consortium (ProPASS) is an international collaboration platform committed to harmonise thigh-worn accelerometry data. The aim of this paper is to (1) outline observational thigh-worn accelerometry studies and (2) summarise key strategic directions arising from the inaugural ProPASS meeting. Methods(1) We performed a systematic scoping review for observational studies of thigh-worn ...

Detection of epileptic convulsions from accelerometry signals through machine learning approach Thomas More Universiteit Antwerpen KU Leuven

Bert Bonroy
© 2014 IEEE. A seizure detection system in the non-clinical environment would enable long-term monitoring and give better insights into the number of seizures and their characteristics. Moreover, an alarm at seizure onset is important for alerting the parents or care-givers so they could comfort the child and optionally give the treatment. Therefore, we developed a patient-independent automatic algorithm for registration and detection of ...

Objectively measured physical activity and sedentary time in youth : the international children's accelerometry database (ICAD) Universiteit Gent

Ashley R Cooper, Anna Goodman, Angie S Page, Lauren B Sherar, Dale W Esliger, Esther MF van Sluijs, Lars Bo Andersen, Sigmund Anderssen, Greet Cardon, Rachel Davey, et al.
BACKGROUND: Physical activity and sedentary behaviour in youth have been reported to vary by sex, age, weight status and country. However, supporting data are often self-reported and/or do not encompass a wide range of ages or geographical locations. This study aimed to describe objectively-measured physical activity and sedentary time patterns in youth. METHODS: The International Children's Accelerometry Database (ICAD) consists of ActiGraph ...

The DizzyQuest Combined with Accelerometry: Daily Physical Activities and Limitations among Patients with Bilateral Vestibulopathy Due to DFNA9 Universiteit Hasselt Universiteit Antwerpen

Sebastien JANSSENS DE VAREBEKE
Background: DFNA9 is a genetic disease of the inner ear, causing progressive bilateral sensorineural deafness and bilateral vestibulopathy (BV). In this study, DizzyQuest, a mobile vestibular diary, and the MOX accelerometer were combined to assess the daily life functional limitations and physical activity of patients with DFNA9 suffering from BV. These parameters might be appropriate as potential candidacy criteria and outcome measures for new ...
