Validation of a tri-axial accelerometer for measuring physical activity in patients with subacute stroke.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study aimed to validate the accuracy of the Active Style Pro HJA-750C (ASP) in measuring metabolic equivalents (METs) during walking and reaching tasks in individuals with subacute stroke using a respiratory gas analyzer as a reference.

Methods

Twenty-three hospitalized patients with subacute stroke participated in this study. They performed sitting and standing reaching tasks, as well as walking while wearing a VO2 Master respiratory gas analyzer and ASP devices on both the paretic and non-paretic sides. The METs values recorded by the ASP were compared with those obtained using a VO2 Master respiratory gas analyzer. Pearson's correlation coefficients were calculated for each task, and Bland-Altman plots were used to assess the agreement between the two methods
