The DynaPort Activity Monitor (DAM) has been reported to be useful to evaluate the activity in healthy subjects and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, it is difficult to estimate the activity of COPD patients using DAM, because its battery works only for several hours and sensors should be worn at two parts of the body. A newly developed compact, single-position triaxial accelerometer (Actimarker) can measure the activity for >1 month, but has not been validated for COPD patients.
