“…The most relevant result of this research points to the existence of variations in the control of glenohumeral movement when implementing an auditory feedback system, which are manifested at all difficulty levels of the task. Huang et al (15) report a direct correlation between the difficulty of a range task and the magnitude of the accelerometry signal vector. In this respect, our results indicate a higher RMS of accelerometry in the task of moderate difficulty, followed by the hard and the easy tasks, in that order.…”

“…Furthermore, an objective evaluation to measure motor control of the upper limb and, specifically, of glenohumeral movement requires sophisticated systems that, in general, are inefficient for clinical practice, since they are time-consuming, costly and may require a laboratory. (8) Therefore, several studies (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) highlight the benefits of accelerometers and inertial sensors as inexpensive and easy to use methods that provide reliable and fast data.…”

Introduction: Human motor control requires a learning process and it can be trained by means of various sensory feedback sources.Objective: To determine variations in glenohumeral movement control by learning in young adults exposed to an auditory feedback system while they perform object translation tasks classified by difficulty level.Materials and methods: The study involved 45 volunteers of both sexes (22 women), aged between 18 and 32 years. Glenohumeral movement control was measured by means of the root mean square (RMS) of the accelerometry signal, while task execution speed (TES) was measured using an accelerometer during the execution of the task according to its difficulty (easy, moderate and hard) in four stages of randomized intervention (control, pre-exposure, exposure-with auditory feedback, and post-exposure).Results: Statistically significant differences (p<0.001) were found between the pre-exposure and exposure stages and between pre-exposure and post-exposure stages. A significant increase (p <0.001) in TES was identified between the pre-exposure and exposure stages for tasks classified as easy and hard, respectively.Conclusion: The use of an auditory feedback system in young adults without pathologies enhanced learning and glenohumeral movement control without reducing TES. This effect was maintained after the feedback, so the use of this type of feedback system in healthy individuals could result in a useful strategy for the training of motor control of the shoulder.

“…The RT3 accelerometer, the IDEEA, and the SWA are three accelerometers that are frequently used to measure PA. 20,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] The RT3 measures the magnitude of acceleration in three dimensions to provide vector data in 'counts'. Counts are converted into kilocalories (kcal) with the use of algorithms based on the wearer's characteristics.…”

Background: Recent research has indicated that energy expenditure (EE) is predictive of health related outcomes. Valid, reliable and feasible measures of EE are required to further investigate this relationship and to monitor adherence to activity guidelines. Objective: To assess the ability of activity monitors to measure EE in apparently healthy adults and children.Major findings: Three monitors met the inclusion criteria for this review: the RT3, the IDEEA, and the Sensewear Pro Armband (SWA). Thirty-three studies reported on the validity and reliability of these monitors. Fifteen studies reported on the feasibility of the monitors. The ability of the monitors to assess EE varied across activity types. All monitors underestimated the energy cost of free-living activities. The estimation of total energy expenditure from all three monitors disagreed considerably with a criterion measure of EE. Conclusion: Of these monitors, the SWA is the most studied activity monitor in adults and children. However, until a standardized methodology is used in validation studies, it is difficult to recommend the use of one monitor above others. Further research is required into the comparative validity, the reliability and the feasibility of these monitors to aid monitor selection.
