Predicting daily physical activity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
<h4>Background</h4>Objectively measuring daily physical activity (PA) using an accelerometer is a relatively expensive and time-consuming undertaking. In routine clinical practice it would be useful to estimate PA in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with more si...
