Abstract：
Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of using activity monitors in a physical activity (PA) intervention in people with Parkinson\'s (PD) and Huntington\'s disease (HD). Materials & methods: People with early-stage PD (n = 13) and HD (n = 14) enrolled in a 4-month coaching program, wore a Fitbit, and were guided through a behavioral intervention to facilitate PA uptake. Wear time, wear habits and activity metrics (e.g., steps) were analyzed. Results: Retention rate was 85% and participants had an average 92.3% (±9.2) valid wear days. Daily wear time was 18.4 (±4.5) h. Day & night Fitbit wearers showed improvements in steps (d = 1.02) and MET×min/week (d = 0.69) compared with day-only wearers. Conclusion: Implementing wearables in a coaching intervention was feasible and provided insights into PA behavior.
摘要：
目的：评估在帕金森病（PD）和亨廷顿病（HD）患者的身体活动（PA）干预中使用活动监测器的可行性。材料与方法：患有早期PD（n=13）和HD（n=14）的人参加了为期4个月的教练计划，穿着Fitbit,并通过行为干预来促进PA摄取。磨损时间,穿着习惯和活动指标(例如，步骤)进行了分析。结果：保留率为85％，参与者平均有效佩戴天数为92.3％（±9.2）。每日佩戴时间为18.4（±4.5）h。与仅白天佩戴者相比，白天和夜间Fitbit佩戴者在步数（d=1.02）和MET×min/周（d=0.69）方面有所改善。结论：在教练干预中实施可穿戴设备是可行的，并提供了对PA行为的见解。
