low frequency oscillation

Recently, there has been a notable shift to increasingly more sedentary lifestyles, yet it remains unclear whether inexpensive accelerometers, such as those contained in Actigraph devices, can provide consistent measurements of low magnitude accelerations. This study sought to explore the ability of two Actigraph models to differentiate low frequency oscillations, in reference to higher-end accelerometers with the idle sleep mode disabled (ISM) (Part 1) and enabled (Part 2) in a controlled environment.
