A primary goal of pulmonary rehabilitation is to improve health and life quality by encouraging participants to engage in exercise and to increase daily physical activity. The recent advent of motion sensors, including digital pedometers and accelerometers that measure motion as a continuous variable, have added precision to the measurement of free-living daily activity. Daily activity and exercise are variables of keen interest to proponents of the national health agenda, epidemiologists, clinical researchers, and rehabilitation interventionists. This paper summarizes issues related to conceptualizing and monitoring activity in the rehabilitation setting; reviews motion sensor methodology; compares motion-sensing devices; presents analysis issues and current and potential applications to the pulmonary rehabilitation setting; and gives practical applications and limitations.
肺康复的一个主要目标是通过鼓励参与者进行锻炼并增加日常身体活动来改善健康状况和生活质量。包括数字计步器和加速度计在内的运动传感器的最新出现，这些传感器将运动作为一个连续变量进行测量，为自由生活状态下的日常活动测量增添了精确性。日常活动和锻炼是国家健康议程的支持者、流行病学家、临床研究人员和康复干预专家密切关注的变量。本文总结了与康复环境中活动的概念化和监测相关的问题；回顾了运动传感器方法；比较了运动传感设备；介绍了分析问题以及在肺康复环境中的当前和潜在应用；并给出了实际应用和局限性。
