Identifying bedrest using 24-hour waist or wrist accelerometry in adults

April 2018

Objectives: To adapt and refine a previously-developed youth-specific algorithm to identify bedrest for use in adults. The algorithm is based on using an automated decision tree (DT) analysis of accelerometry data.
