Abstract
AM-systems provide valid estimates of body positions and transfers, but not step count, especially in non-self caring patients. ActivPAL⢠can derive estimates of EE but there is considerable variability in results, which is consistent, in part, with the inaccuracy in step count. Further studies are required to assess the validity of different endpoints derived from AM-systems in advanced cancer patients.
