Criterion validity of ActiGraph monitoring devices for step counting and distance measurement in adults and older adults: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Wearable activity monitors such as ActiGraph monitoring devices are widely used, especially in research settings. Various research studies have assessed the criterion validity of ActiGraph devices for step counting and distance estimation in adults and older adults. Although several studies have used the ActiGraph devices as a reference system for activity monitoring, there is no summarized evidence of the psychometric properties. The main objective of this systematic review was to summarize evidence related to the criterion validity of ActiGraph monitoring devices for step counting and distance estimation in adults and/or older adults.

Methods

Literature searches were conducted in six databases (Medline (OVID), Embase, IEEExplore, CINAHL, Engineering Village and
