Acceptability of wearable inertial sensors, completeness of data, and day-to-day variability of everyday life motor activities in children and adolescents with neuromotor impairments.

ABSTRACT: Monitoring the patients' motor activities in a real-world setting would provide essential information on their functioning in daily life. In this study, we used wearable inertial sensors to monitor motor activities of children and adolescents with congenital and acquired brain injuries. We derived a set of clinically meaningful performance measures and addressed the following research questions: Is the target population willing to wear the sensors in their habitual environment? Which factors lead to missing data, and can we avoid them? How many measurement days are needed to obtain reliable estimates of the children's and adolescents' motor performance? The study participants wore our sensor system for seven consecutive days during waking hours. First, we derived the daily hand use of all
