Differences in mean motor activity and motion patterns over a 24 hour period among MD patients in the beginning of treatment (MD) and healthy controls (HC)—itemised in several feature-placement combinations measured in different accelerometer axes and sorted according to effect sizes by Cohen.

Abbreviations: SD: standard deviation; n.s. = not significant;
*p≤0.05,
**p≤0.01,
***p≤0.001;
d: Cohen’s effect size.
1calculated with spectral analysis;
2arbitrary unit: values are based on g but attenuated due to the computation of the spectrum and the nonstationarity of the data;
3cumulative acceleration of the three axes of the chest sensor computed following the rules of vector addition.
