Measuring Upper Extremity Functional Movement With Accelerometry: FitBit® vs Actigraph®

Measuring Upper Extremity Functional Movement With Accelerometry: FitBit vs Actigraph

To determine the criterion validity of the FitBit® Flex™ compared to the ActiGraph's Bluetooth® Smart wGT3X-BT wireless activity monitor, and contribute to the clinical utility of accelerometry measurement of UE movement.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Motor Activity

Detailed Description

Participants will wear two different accelerometers (FitBit and Actigraph) to record normal, everyday movement. Data from each accelerometer will be compared to determine similarity.
