Datasets associated with 'Introducing an adjustable upper limb prosthesis into a Ugandan clinical service: Impacts on free living behaviour and prosthetic use' Manuscript under review in Scientific Reports (SREP-24-02464)
This database contains all the raw, unprocessed data collected from two different activity monitors monitoring upper-limb prosthetic use and physical activity.
This data was collected from eight Ugandan participants with trans-radial limb loss across three differing data collection periods of up seven days.
The database is organised by participant (1-8), with each participant folder containing the Activpal and Axivity monitor data for the relevant data collection periods.
These being T0 (prior to intervention), T1 (at least one week post intervention) and T2 (at least six months post intervention).
Please not that not all participants completed all three data collection periods and some did not wear both monitors during all data collection periods. Full details of this can be found in the main article.
.datx files were collected using the Activpal 4+ monitor, which was worn on the thigh of each participant.
This data can be opened using the Pal software package. Available: https://www.palt.com/softwaresuite/.
.cwa files were collected using the Axivity AX3 monitor, which was worn on the prosthetic wrist of each participant.
This data can be opened using the OMGUI software package. Available: https://github.com/openmovementproject/openmovement/wiki/AX3-GUI.
