The Usefulness of Activity Trackers in Elderly with Reduced Mobility: A Case Study
This study was conducted to determine the accuracy and usefulness
of two current commercially available activity trackers
in rollator dependent elderly with reduced mobility (RME),
compared with elderly with normal mobility (NME) and
healthy adults (HA).
Methods: Accuracy of pedometers placed at hip (Fitbit Ultra
and Samsung GT-I9300 mobile phone) and wrist (Fitbit Ultra)
were evaluated against actual steps (video) in RME (n=5),
NME (n=7) and HA (n=6). Walk speed, Tinetti gait score and
device percent error was calculated and analyzed in SPSS
using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney U and correlation tests.
Results: NME and HA walked significantly faster (p = 0.001)
than RME, had significantly higher gait score (p < 0.05). Gait
scores were correlated with walking speed and negatively with
pedometer percent error (p < 0.01). Estimation error in RME
were >60% at all device locations
Conclusions: Slow walking speed and gait disorders hamper
the utility of pedometers for physical activity measurement in
rollator dependent elderly, with estimation errors >60%. The
tested devices are better suited for use by ostensibly healthy
elderly or adult populations.European Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) Project AAL-2011-4- 09

Convocatoria proyectos de innovación de Extremadura 2020/2021Se describe un proyecto llevado a cabo entre 13 centros educativos extremeños que consistió en desarrollar cinco unidades de trabajo gamificadas, cinco historias detectivescas con misterios por resolver, donde se ponían a prueba las habilidades de lógica, la capacidad de observación, de concentración y de atención de los alumnos. Los objetivos principales de la propuesta fueron: promover la puesta en práctica de proyectos intercentros; impulsar pedagogías activas; desarrollar la competencia digital a través del uso de las pedagogías emergentes lo que ha permitido llevar a cabo una enseñanza presencial, híbrida y virtual y atender a la diversidadExtremaduraES
