“…Six studies added a Global Positioning System (GPS) device in addition to the activity monitors [ 54 , 103 , 105 , 110 , 114 ]. Other wearable technologies used in the included studies were TEMEC activity monitor (Temec Technologies BV, Heerlen, The Netherlands) [ 63 , 67 ], Dynaport ADL (McRoberts BV, The Hague, The Netherlands) [ 62 , 119 ], Power Walker (Yamax Health & Sports Inc., Shropshire, UK) [ 85 ], EmpowerGO (Hanger Inc., Austin, TX, USA) [ 24 ], Up move (Jawbone, San Francisco, CA, USA) [ 35 ], Activ 8 (VitaMove, Veldhoven, The Netherlands) [ 38 ], Uptimer (National Ageing Research Institute, Victoria, Australia) [ 66 ], AMP 331 (Dynastream Innovations, Cochrane, AB, Canada) [ 97 ], and the MiniMods Dynaport (McRoberts BV, The Hague, The Netherlands) [ 33 ]. Two studies used an accelerometer, but did not specify the manufacturer [ 55 , 93 ].…”

“…Of the 46 included observational studies, 13 studies aimed to describe characteristics of real-world behavior [ 21 , 26 , 33 , 40 , 60 , 63 , 66 ], real-world measurements in a specific population [ 44 , 50 , 62 ], or at a specific moment in time, such as post-rehabilitation [ 21 , 45 , 50 ], or during a mountaineering expedition [ 59 ]. Four studies observed changes in real-world behavior over time, including changes between before and during the COVID-19 pandemic [ 24 , 27 ], during in-patient and leave periods [ 36 ], and before and after prosthetic disuse [ 25 ]. One study investigated the effect of various prosthetic accommodation durations [ 35 ].…”

“…Step Count Seventy-two articles reported on step count. The majority reported the number of steps taken per day [4,[24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]36,37,39,40,42,44,46,47,[49][50][51]53,55,56,58,59,61,62,64,65,[68][69][70][71][72][73]75,[77][78][79]81,82,84,86,[89][90][91]93,[95][96][97]…”

“…Step count was also reported in combination with other variables of walking activity, such as number of steps per intensity activity [49,90], per walking technique [59], per walking bout [24,105], per activity classification [102,112], or the maximal number of consecutive steps taken [33]. Some articles reported on step count related to location, such as number of steps taken at home and away from home [70,105,110], per community category [54,57], or the difference in steps between a day inpatient and a day out-patient [36].…”

“…Step counts were also reported to demonstrate a difference between participant groups [4,26,29,31,32,37,40,46,47,49,51,52,[54][55][56]64,65,68,75,77,81,84,105,110], between different types of activity monitors [115], or between baseline and follow-up measurements [24,40,50,68,77,81,84,89,93,96,97].…”

Background: The rapidly increasing use of wearable technology to monitor free-living ambulatory behavior demands to address to what extent the chosen outcome measures are representative for real-world situations. This scoping review aims to provide an overview of the purpose of use of wearable activity monitors in people with a Lower Limb Amputation (LLA) in the real world, to identify the reported outcome measures, and to evaluate to what extent the reported outcome measures capture essential information from real-world ambulation of people with LLA. Methods: The literature search included a search in three databases (MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE) for articles published between January 1999 and January 2022, and a hand-search. Results and conclusions: 98 articles met the inclusion criteria. According to the included studies’ main objective, the articles were classified into observational (n = 46), interventional (n = 34), algorithm/method development (n = 12), and validity/feasibility studies (n = 6). Reported outcome measures were grouped into eight categories: step count (reported in 73% of the articles), intensity of activity/fitness (31%), type of activity/body posture (27%), commercial scores (15%), prosthetic use and fit (11%), gait quality (7%), GPS (5%), and accuracy (4%). We argue that researchers should be more careful with choosing reliable outcome measures, in particular, regarding the frequently used category step count. However, the contemporary technology is limited in providing a comprehensive picture of real-world ambulation. The novel knowledge from this review should encourage researchers and developers to engage in debating and defining the framework of ecological validity in rehabilitation sciences, and how this framework can be utilized in the development of wearable technologies and future studies of real-world ambulation in people with LLA.

Background: Limb loss affects quality of life, well-being, and autonomy. The World Health Organization has launched a global action plan to reduce physical inactivity and presented recommendations of physical activity for people living with disability. Knowledge of the characteristics of people with lower limb amputation regarding physical activity is important. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify the quantity and type of physical activity done by people with lower limb amputation. Methods: The sample (N = 149) included adults aged 53.08 (17.24) years old with lower limb loss. Data collection was performed through the application of a sociodemographic, behavioral, and clinical data sheet and the Brazilian version of the Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities. Results: The total Physical Activity Scale for Individuals with Physical Disabilities score was between 0 and 65.79 metabolic equivalents of task per hour per day, which suggests low practice of physical activities. The most frequently practiced activities (79.9%) were those that involved stationary behavior. Women carried out more domestic activities, and subjects who used lower limb prosthesis and those with traumatic amputation reported higher practice of physical activity. Conclusions: People living with lower limb amputation, from different regions of Brazil, have low levels of physical activity and mainly carry out activities of stationary behavior.

Amaç: Bu çalışmada Türkiye’deki COVID-19 pandemisi ve sosyal izolasyon sırasında alt ekstremite amputelerinin dışarıda geçirdikleri vakit ile fiziksel aktivite seviyelerini raporlamak, protez memnuniyeti ve yaşam kalitesi ile ilişki ve farkını araştırmak amaçlandı. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmaya farklı seviyelerde alt ekstremite amputasyonu olan 77 (K:18, E:59) birey katıldı. Sosyal izolasyon sırasında dışarıda geçirilen vakit, fiziksel aktivite düzeyi (Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi - UFAA), yaşam kalitesi (Nottingham Sağlık Profili Skalası- NSPS) ve protez memnuniyeti (Trinity Amputasyon ve Protez Deneyim Ölçeği - TAPDÖ) çevrimiçi anket aracılığı ile sorgulandı. Sonuçlar: Bireylerin izolasyon sürecinde dışarı çıkma frekansları (gün/hafta), %40,3 (1-3 gün), %24,7 (3-5 gün) ve %35,1 (5-7 gün)’dir. UFAA skorları ile NSPS ve TAPDÖ alt parametrelerinin ilişkili olduğu saptandı (p<0,05). Sosyal izolasyon sırasında dışarıda geçirilen vakit kategorileri arasında NHP fiziksel aktivite skorları ile TAPES kısıtlanmaya uyum, atlatik aktivite kısıtlama, ağırlık memnuniyet ve fonksiyonel memnuniyet sonuçlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark bulundu (p<0,05) Tartışma: Covid-19 pandemisi nedenli sosyal izolasyon sırasında fiziksel aktivitenin azalması ile ampute bireylerin yaşam kalitesi ve protez memnuniyetinde azalmaların meydana geldiği bulundu. Sosyal izolasyon sırasında dışarıda geçirilen vaktin artmasının yaşam kalitesi ve protez memnuniyeti üzerinde fark yarattığı görüldü.
