Abstract
Background: Wearable sensors provide a new way to monitor free-living physical activity (PA). However, the validity of wearables to assess PA among individuals with neurological conditions has not been well-described. Aim: To compare validity of consumer and research grade wearables by PA intensity metrics, including energy expenditure and step counts, among adults living with neurological conditions. Methods: This review explored relevant studies utilizing consumer and research grade wearables published within the last ten years. Main Findings: ActivPal is the only wearable with documented measures of validity for assessing PA intensity in neurologic populations via METS and step count rates.
