Sensors, Vol. 23, Pages 7177: Does Accelerometry at the Centre of Mass Accurately Predict the Gait Energy Expenditure in Patients with Hemiparesis?

Conclusions: The accuracy of the predicted EE, based on the accelerometer and the equations proposed by Bouten et al., was low in individuals with hemiparesis and impaired gait. This combination (sensor and Bouten’s equation) is not yet suitable for use as a stand-alone measure in clinical practice for the evaluation of hemiparetic patients.
