Abstract
Abstract
The upper limb activity of twenty unilateral upper limb myoelectric prosthesis users and twenty anatomically intact adults were recorded over a 7-day period using two wrist worn accelerometers (Actigraph, LLC). This dataset reflects the real-world activities of the participants during their normal day-to-day routines. Participants included students, working adults, and retirees recruited from across the United Kingdom. This dataset offers a potential wealth of knowledge into a poorly understood cohort. The raw unprocessed data files and the activity count data exported from the Actilife software are provided. We also provide a non-wear algorithm developed for the removal of prosthesis non-wear periods and resulting activity count data corresponding to prothesis wear periods. Finally, we have included the transposed activity diaries provided by the participants. Analysis to date has primarily involved assessment of the symmetry of upper limb activity, however, there is potential to undertake additional analysis such as understanding the differences in the way a prosthesis is used compared to an anatomical arm.
