Accelerometers' Validity in Counting Number of Steps in the Elderly Subjects Before Discharge From Rehabilitation Units

Summary

Accelerometers enhance physical activity. Nevertheless, their validity (ability to accurately count steps) is not known in an elderly frail population ready for discharge from a rehabilitation unit. The objective was to assess accelerometers' validity for counting steps (10 meters), in comparison with the gold standard: steps counted by 2 physicians blind to accelerometers data, over a filmed 10-meter walk (minimal capacity to walk inside their own living place). The second objective was to evaluate the best position of the accelerometer: wrist, ankle, hip.

Conditions

  • Geriatrics

Interventions

DEVICE

Accelerometers positioned at the wrinkle, the hip, and the ankle

Accelerometers are positioned at the wrinkle, the hip, and the ankle. The subject stands and walks 10 meters, followed up by a physiotherapist in the physiotherapy area. The accelerometers are triggered by a smartphone. The protocol is filmed (without the face), and 2 physicians will watch the film and count the steps blind to the results of the accelerometers (and blind to each-other steps counts)
