There is a lack of quantitative methods to assess the impact of these motor dysfunctions on the relative use of each arm. The objective of this study was to evaluate the concurrent and discriminative validity of accelerometry-based metrics when used to assess bimanual and unimanual functions. Methods: A group of control subjects and hemiplegic adults living with CP performed six ADL tasks, during which they were wearing an Actigraph GT9X on each wrist and being filmed. Four bimanual and unimanual metrics were calculated from both accelerometry-based and video-based data; these metrics were then compared to one other with an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Some of these metrics were previously validated in other clinical population, while others were novel. The discriminative validity was assessed through comparisons between groups and between tasks. Results: The concurrent validity was considered as good to excellent (ICC = 0.61\u20130.97) depending on the experience of the raters. The tasks made it possible to discriminate between groups. Conclusion: The proposed accelerometry-based metrics are a promising tool to evaluate bimanual and unimanual functions in adults living with CP.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22031022","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,29]],"date-time":"2022-01-29T01:43:27Z","timestamp":1643420607000},"page":"1022","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Accelerometry-Based Metrics to Evaluate the Relative Use of the More Affected Arm during Daily Activities in Adults Living with Cerebral Palsy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0101-0118","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Isabelle","family":"Poitras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration, Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale, Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Laval University, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}]},{"given":"Jade","family":"Clou\u00e2tre","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration, Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale, Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Laval University, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6766-3368","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandre","family":"Campeau-Lecours","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration, Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale, Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Mechanical Engineering, Laval University, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2037-6916","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Catherine","family":"Mercier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation and Social Integration, Centre Int\u00e9gr\u00e9 Universitaire de Sant\u00e9 et Services Sociaux de la Capitale-Nationale, Quebec City, QC G1M 2S8, Canada"},{"name":"Department of Rehabilitation, Laval University, Quebec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"897","DOI":"10.1001\/jamapediatrics.2017.1689","article-title":"Early, Accurate Diagnosis and Early Intervention in Cerebral Palsy: Advances in diagnosis and treatment","volume":"171","author":"Novak","year":"2017","journal-title":"JAMA Pediatr."},{"key":"ref_2","unstructured":"Mailand, S.-V.
