Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Evaluation of the time expenditure

    Using a study-specific questionnaire, the additional time expenditure associated with the use of activity sensors by physiotherapy and clinical care is evaluated.

    Day 1-4

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Assessment of the comfort level associated with wearing the sensors

    Day 2-4

  • Evaluation of the handling

    After 10-week period (at recruitment completion)

  • Assessment of the accuracy of the classification algorithm for the detection of movements parameters

    Day 1-3

  • Optimization of activity classification algorithm

    After 10-week period (at recruitment completion)
