Predicting physical activity intensity using raw accelerometer signals in manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury.

The mean absolute deviation (MAD) cutoff threshold yielded the best performance for predicting sedentary vs non-sedentary PA and may be used for tracking daily sedentary activity. None of the models displayed strong performance for MVPA vs non-MVPA. Future studies should investigate combining physiological measures with accelerometry to yield better prediction accuracies for MVPA.
