Egerton T Australas J Ageing 2004; 23 (S1) : A35 – A36 Introduction: Immobility is a common accompaniment of ageing and is increased in the presence of pathologies. Increasing activity levels of older people is a major health imperative. Thus long-term measurement of how active community dwelling elders actually are is vital. The activPAL(TM), a…
Wilson S, Granat MH Proceedings Recent Advances in Assistive Technology and Engineering (RAATE) 2003 Conference, Birmingham, UK 10 – 11 November 2003, p 18 Mobility levels following a spinal cord injury are greatly reduced and a wheelchair is often used for mobility. Additionally, the SCI (spinal cord injured) person may be uprightly mobile although still…
Mickelborough J, Kenney L, Moss S Proceedings Recent Advances in Assistive Technology and Engineering (RAATE) 2003 Conference, Birmingham, UK 19 – 19 November 2002, p 9 An activity monitor has been developed (ActivPAL, Pal Technologies Ltd, www.paltechnologies.com/) that is small, self contained and worn taped to the front of the thigh. The monitor is designed…
Maxwell D Proceedings Recent Advances in Assistive Technology and Engineering (RAATE) 2002 Conference, Birmingham, UK 18 – 19 November 2002, p 23 We have developed a novel method of quantifying the benefits of therapy using activity as an outcome. Our method of quantifying free-living activity identifies the functional activity performed rather than just an arbitrary…

Egerton T, Maxwell DJ, Granat MH, Wellwood I, Langhorne P, McAlpine C, McDonald J Consensus Conference on Stroke Treatment and Service Delivery, Royal College of Physicians, Edinburgh, 7 – 8 November 2000 Background: Early intensive mobilisation has been linked to improved functional outcome for stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation. Using the Strathclyde Activity Monitor the quantity…
