Validity of accelerometry for predicting physical activity and sedentary time in ambulatory children and young adults with cerebral palsy

摘要

: This study aimed to validate five published ActiGraph (AG) cut-off points for the measurements of physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) in ambulatory children and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP). Additionally, four energy expenditure (EE) prediction equations based on AG counts and activPAL (AP) steps were examined in this population, using oxygen uptake (VO ) as the criterion.
