Physical Activity Researcher

Summary

In this episode of the Physical Activity Researcher Podcast, host Dr. Olli Tikkanen discusses a 2022 study titled "Criterion Validity of Linear Accelerations Measured with Low-Sampling-Frequency Accelerometers during Overground Walking in Elderly Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis". Led by Arash Ghaffari and his team from Aalborg University Hospital and Aalborg University in Denmark, this research investigates the reliability and validity of Fibion SENS, a low-sampling-frequency accelerometer, for monitoring the gait accelerations of patients with knee osteoarthritis.
