Impact of anatomical placement of an accelerometer on prediction of physical activity energy expenditure in lower-limb amputees.

To assess the influence of the anatomical placement of a tri-axial accelerometer on the prediction of physical activity energy expenditure (PAEE) in traumatic lower-limb amputees during walking and to develop valid population-specific prediction algorithms.Thirty participants, consisting of unilater...
