Abstract

Purpose: To develop and validate an accelerometer-based algorithm classifying physical activity in people with acquired brain injury (ABI) in a laboratory setting resembling a real home environment. Materials and methods: A development and validation study was performed. Eleven healthy participants and 25 patients with ABI performed a protocol of transfers and ambulating activities. Activity measurements were performed with accelerometers and with thermal video camera as gold standard reference. A machine learning-based algorithm classifying specific physical activities from the accelerometer data was developed and cross-validated in a training sample of 11 healthy participants. Criterion validity of the algorithm was established in 3 models classifying the same protocol of activities in people with ABI. Results: Modeled on data from 11 healthy and 15 participants with ABI, the algorithm had a good precision for classifying transfers and ambulating activities in data from 10 participants with ABI. The weighted sensitivity for all activities was 89.3% (88.3–90.4%) and the weighted positive predictive value was 89.7% (88.7–90.7%). The algorithm differentiated between lying and sitting activities. Conclusion: An algorithm to classify physical activities in populations with ABI was developed and its criterion validity established. Further testing of precision in home settings with continuous activity monitoring is warranted.
