Step Counting
Actical® Physical Activity Monitor
[ Actical Home | Software and Reader ]


Actical Physical Activity Monitors provide an objective, quantifiable measure of Physical Activity and Energy (Caloric) Expenditure for your research. Activity level thresholds (cut point) determination and quantitative activity analysis are recognized as being important components of weight management and sports medicine research. They can be a valuable measurement tool in any area where exercise plays a critical role.
Actical is a physical activity monitor based on our proven Actiwatch actigraphy-based data logging system, using an omnidirectional accelerometer. Digital integration data acquisition incorporates intensity of movement into the Activity Count total.
