Investigating the Accuracy of Wheelchair Push Counts Measured by Fitness Watches: A Systematic Review.

Wheelchair users face an elevated risk of metabolic syndromes due to their sedentary lifestyles. One of the methods to prevent and treat various metabolic syndromes is regular physical activity, which varies among individuals based on their abilities. Monitoring physical activity among them can be performed by using wearable physical activity monitors (WPAMs), which utilize accelerometers and algorithms to track wheelchair push counts.
