To evaluate interventions to promote physical activity, valid outcome measures are important. This study evaluated the validity and reliability of the ActivPAL3™ and the SENS motion® activity monitors with regard to the number of steps taken, walking, and sedentary behavior in hospitalized patients ( n = 36) (older medical patients (+65 years) ( n = 12), older patients (+65) with acute hip fracture ( n = 12), and patients (+18) who underwent acute high-risk abdominal surgery ( n = 12)). Both monitors showed good (≥60%) percentage agreement with direct observation for standing and no. of steps (all gait speeds) and high agreement (≥80%) for lying. For walking, ActivPAL3™ showed moderate percentage agreement, whereas SENS motion® reached high percentage agreement. The relative reliability was moderate for sedentary behavior for both monitors. The ActivPAL3™ showed poor (walking) to moderate (steps) reliability for walking and steps, whereas SENS motion® showed moderate reliability for both activities. For slow walkers, the relative reliability was moderate for SENS motion® and poor for ActivPAL3™. This trial is registered with the ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT04120740.
