Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Study A: • Orientation (Mly) and intensity (SMA) calculated from the accelerometer signals of the three acceleromters of the SensorSleeve (ACCwrist, ACCelbow and ACCshoulder). • Thresholds to define time spent in different activity categories (sec): 1) low orientation and low intensity, 2) low orientation and medium intensity, 3) low orientation and high intensity, 4) medium orientation and low intensity, 5) medium orientation and medium intensity, 6) medium orientation and high intensity, 7) high orientation and low intensity, 8) high orientation and medium intensity, 9) high orientation and high intensity. Time spend in different activity categories will be obtained from the protocol and calculated from the ACCwrist, ACCelbow and ACCshoulder. Study B: • Time spent in different activity categories measured using the CAM. • Burst characteristics of the m. biceps brachii, m. triceps brachii, m. deltoideus and m. trapezius pars descendens. | — |
