Article Synopsis
- Accurate assessment of physical activity in hospitalized geriatric rehabilitation patients can be challenging due to slow walking speeds and reliance on walking aids; this study aimed to validate the MOX activity monitor's effectiveness in identifying different activity levels such as sedentary, standing, and dynamic movements.
- The study involved 20 participants over the age of 70 who used walking aids; the MOX monitor was tested for one week, and activities were filmed to evaluate its classification accuracy, with results showing minimal error rates across all activities.
- The findings concluded that the MOX activity monitor is not only highly accurate but also easy to use, indicating its potential as a practical tool for assessing physical activity in this specific patient population.
