Abstract

This observational study investigates the inter-monitor reliability of the Fibion worn on the thigh and in a front trouser pocket during selected tasks by comparing the data collected from two monitors. The study aims to determine whether the Fibion worn on the thigh and in a front trouser pocket yield consistent results, as this could have implications for research and clinical practice. A total of 30 participants were recruited to perform a series of tasks while wearing two Fibion monitors simultaneously. The data collected from both monitors were analyzed for consistency. The results of this study will provide insight into the reliability of using the Fibion in different wearing positions during various activities.
