Article Synopsis
  • - This study explored using a dual accelerometer method to track physical activity in critically ill burn patients, aiming to gather detailed data on the type and duration of their activities during hospitalization.
  • - Conducted in a burn center in the Netherlands, five patients with significant burn injuries participated and wore accelerometers on their chest and thigh to monitor activity, resulting in analysis of 14-49 days of data per patient.
  • - The findings showed that while the method effectively identified and quantified activities during wear time, the data processing was labor-intensive and needed improvement for practical clinical use.

The aim of this study was to develop and validate an algorithm that can identify the type, frequency, and duration of activities common to intensive care (IC) patients. Ten healthy participants wore two accelerometers on their chest and leg while performing 14 activities clustered into four protocols (i.e.

Background: Early mobilization (EM) of intensive care (IC) patients is important but complex with facilitators and barriers. Compared to general IC patients, burn IC patients are more hyper-metabolic. They have extensive wounds, lengthy wound dressing changes, and repeated surgeries that may affect possibilities of EM.
