Slideshow Project DOI: 10. 1682/JRRD. 2012. 0222 SP • Aim – Characterize hours of upper-limb (UL) activity. – Examine potential modifying factors of UL activity: • Sedentary activity, cognitive impairment, depression, comorbidities, cohabitation status, age. • Relevance – Capacity for UL function may not translate into realworld activity; therefore, activity should also be assessed together with clinical measures of capacity. • Accelerometry can quantify UL activity outside clinic.

Method Slideshow Project DOI: 10. 1682/JRRD. 2012. 0222 SP • 74 community-dwelling adults: – Wore accelerometers on bilateral wrists for 25 h. – Provided information on modifying factors.

Results Slideshow Project DOI: 10. 1682/JRRD. 2012. 0222 SP • Dominant UL activity duration: – Mean 9. 1 ± 1. 9 h. • Ratio of activity between nondominant and dominant ULs: – 0. 95 ± 0. 06 h. • Decreased hours of dominant UL activity associated with increased time spent in sedentary activity. • No other factors associated with hours of dominant UL activity.

Conclusion Slideshow Project DOI: 10. 1682/JRRD. 2012. 0222 SP • These data can help clinicians: – Establish outcome goals for patients given preimpairment level of sedentary activity. – Track progress during UL rehabilitation.
