Reliability of single-day walking performance and physical activity measures using inertial sensors in children with cerebral palsy

Conclusions. Our IMU and algorithm setup appears to be a reliable tool to measure daily life gait parameters in children with CP when repeatedly measured on 2 school days. PA was also reliably assessed but when measuring the same school day some weeks apart. However, the high MDC95 values question whether the setup can be used as a responsive outcome measure of interventions.
