Abstract
Purpose:The purpose of this study was to validate the combined use of inclinometers and accelerometers to measure body posture and movement in children in a laboratory setting.Methods:We performed two separate experiments. In the first experiment, we tested the hypothesis that four inclinomeKeywords
