Thigh Accelerometry Position Study

The Thigh Accelerometry Position Study (TAPS) provides raw sensor data of thigh-worn accelerometer measurements that are collected simultaneously at different positions on the thigh, i.e., centre vs. upper thigh. Thirty-six participants wore two accelerometers for up to seven days during everyday life. TAPS allows existing and newly developed algorithms to be validated with respect to these different placements. The data is accompanied by a study description that provides details of the data collection and available data (TAPS_Study_Description_v1.pdf. Structured metadata is available in DDI format in TAPS_DDI_Metadata_v1.xml). The instructions, questionnaire and participant information used in TAPS are available in English and German (TAPS_FieldworkDocuments.zip).
