Comparing Five Generations of ActiGraph Devices Using an Orbital Shaker
Using an orbital shaker and criterion accelerometer, we found small differences in the raw output of five ActiGraph generations across a range of accelerations typical of free-living data. However, the devices largely fell within established limits of agreement to the NHANES GT3X+ devices, and variability was minimized with autocalibration or when data were expressed in MIMS or counts.
