Measurement of sedentary time and physical activity in rheumatoid arthritis: an ActiGraph and activPAL ™ validation study

In conclusion, the activPAL3μ™ accurately quantifies sedentary, standing and stepping time in RA. The RA-specific cut-points offer a validated measure of sedentary time, light-intensity PA and moderate-intensity PA in these patients, and demonstrated superior accuracy for estimating free-living sedentary time, compared to non -RA cut-points.
