Qualitative and quantitative comparative study of accelerometer cut-points to evaluate physical activity in children with cerebral palsy

Physical activity (PA) in daily life could be evaluated by accelerometer. Multiple algorithms have been validated to classify activity counts along several time intervals (epoch length), and with several set of cut-points. For children, three algorithms are the most frequently used by researchers in order to define the time spent in sedentary (SED) and in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA).
