“…It may be that the high levels of sedentary behaviour of people with ID are established during childhood and maintained into adulthood. This hypothesis is supported by previous studies comparing adolescents with ID with peers without ID, showing that the former are more sedentary [ 30 , 31 ]. In the general population, sedentary and physical activity behaviour during childhood and adolescence seem to track, to some extent, into adulthood [ 32 , 33 ].…”

Individuals with intellectual disabilities (ID) are at high risk for high levels of sedentary behaviour. To inform the development of programmes to reduce sedentary behaviour, insight into the correlates is needed. Therefore, the aim of this study is to review the evidence on correlates of sedentary behaviour in adults with ID. We performed a systematic literature search in Ovid Medline, Ovid Embase, Web of Science and Google Scholar up to 19 January 2018, resulting in nine included studies that were published from 2011 to 2018. Correlates were categorized according to the ecological model. Studies predominantly focused on individual level correlates. Of those correlates studied in more than one study, having epilepsy was associated with less sedentary behaviour and inconsistent results were found for sex, genetic syndromes, weight status, physical health, mobility, level of ID, and mental health. Of the few interpersonal and environmental factors studied, only living arrangements were studied in more than one study, with inconsistent results. To date, we have limited and inconclusive evidence about correlates of sedentary behaviour in adults with ID. Only when future studies unravel correlates and determinants, across all domains of the ecological model, will the potential opportunities to improve health by reducing sedentary behaviour come within reach.

“…A recent study involving youth with ID ages 7-20 years in Sweden reported that participants accumulated an average of 80 minutes/day of MVPA and 52% of the sample met the WHO activity recommendations. 22 In the present study conducted in the U.S., youth with ID ages 13-21 years accumulated an average of 29.7 minutes/day of MVPA, which falls within the range of time spent in MVPA reported in most of these previous studies. Only 6% of youth with ID in this study met physical activity recommendations, which is lower than some previously published work and may reflect the slightly older age of our participants.…”

Background.-Children and youth with intellectual disabilities (ID) are known to face obstacles to physical activity participation, yet the activity patterns of this population are not well characterized. Objective/Hypothesis.-In this study, time spent in moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA), type, and frequency of participation in physical activities were assessed in youth with ID and in a comparison group of typically developing (TD) youth. Methods.-Weekly participation in MVPA in 38 youth with ID and 60 TD youth was assessed via accelerometry. Participants were also administered an interview about the frequency and type of physical activities they engaged in over the past year. Results.-After adjusting for age and sex, youth with ID spent significantly less time in MVPA (33.5 vs. 46.5 min/day, p=0.03) and were less likely to meet the US Physical Activity Guidelines than TD youth (6% vs. 29%, p=0.01). Although time in MVPA was lower in youth with ID, females with ID participated in physical activities more frequently than TD females (47.1 vs. 28.2 times/month, p=0.008) and also reported engaging in a greater variety of physical activities (7.8 vs. 5.2 activities/year, p=0.01). No differences between males in the frequency of physical activity

“…Proxy-reports from parents or teachers have limited accuracy [ 101 , 102 ]. Wearable devices, therefore, can provide pediatric rehabilitation clinicians with real-world, objective performance data on their patients [ 103 , 104 , 105 , 106 ]. Wearable devices have been used to research the behavior of children with attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the classroom [ 107 ].…”

While the promise of wearable sensor technology to transform physical rehabilitation has been around for a number of years, the reality is that wearable sensor technology for the measurement of human movement has remained largely confined to rehabilitation research labs with limited ventures into clinical practice. The purposes of this paper are to: (1) discuss the major barriers in clinical practice and available wearable sensing technology; (2) propose benchmarks for wearable device systems that would make it feasible to implement them in clinical practice across the world and (3) evaluate a current wearable device system against the benchmarks as an example. If we can overcome the barriers and achieve the benchmarks collectively, the field of rehabilitation will move forward towards better movement interventions that produce improved function not just in the clinic or lab, but out in peoples’ homes and communities.
