Abstract

[Purpose] This study aimed to assess the known-groups validity of the estimated metabolic equivalents during physical activities using accelerometer, Active Style Pro HJA 350-IT, in people with subacute stroke. [Subjects and Methods] Ten participants with subacute stroke and ten healthy people performed six activities (lying, sitting, standing, sitting with reaching task, standing with reaching task, and walking) and metabolic equivalents were estimated using the accelerometer during each activity. These estimated metabolic equivalents were compared with reported metabolic equivalents through compendiums or previous studies. Additionally, the estimated metabolic equivalents were compared between subacute stroke and healthy control participants. [Results] The estimated metabolic equivalents of both groups during maintaining posture showed significantly lower values in comparison with previous studies. There were no significant differences between the estimated metabolic equivalents during sitting with reaching tasks or standing with reaching tasks when compared with compendium metabolic equivalents across both groups. The estimated metabolic equivalents during walking were inevitable values significantly differed from previous study which conducted with stroke patients with lower gait abilities in both groups. [Conclusion] The estimated metabolic equivalents using accelerometer may be suitable to assess movement activity rather than motionless activity, and accelerometer demonstrated acceptable validity in people with subacute stroke. Key words: Subacute stroke, Physical activity, Known-groups validity
