Accelerometry-based 24-hour movement behaviour in manual wheelchair users: A cross-sectional study

Key Points

• This research aims to describe the 24-hour movement behaviour of manual wheelchair users, examining variations by sex and disability characteristics.
• Cross-sectional design focusing on manual wheelchair users.
• Utilized accelerometry to measure movement behaviour over a 24-hour period.
• Analyzed differences based on sex, severity of disability, and timing of onset.
• Identified distinct patterns of movement behaviour between male and female wheelchair users.
• Noted variations in activity levels based on the severity of disability.
• Timing of disability onset influenced overall movement behaviour.
