AB  - BACKGROUND: It is unknown if activity monitors can detect the increased energy 
      expenditure (EE) of wheelchair propulsion at different speeds or on different 
      surfaces. METHODS: Individuals who used manual wheelchairs (n = 14) performed 5 
      wheeling activities: on a level surface at 3 speeds, on a rubberized track at 1 
      fixed speed and on a sidewalk course at a self-selected speed. EE was measured 
      using a portable indirect calorimetry system and estimated by an Actical (AC) 
      worn on the wrist and a SenseWear (SW) activity monitor worn on the upper arm. 
      Repeated- measures ANOVA was used to compare measured EE to the estimates from 
      the standard AC prediction equation and SW using 2 different equations. RESULTS: 
      Repeated-measures ANOVA demonstrated a significant main effect between measured 
      EE and estimated EE. There were no differences between the criterion method and 
      the AC across the 5 activities. The SW overestimated EE when wheeling at 3 speeds 
      on a level surface, and during sidewalk wheeling. The wheelchair-specific SW 
      equation improved the EE prediction during low intensity activities, but error 
      progressively increased during higher intensity activities. CONCLUSIONS: During 
      manual wheelchair propulsion, the wrist-mounted AC provided valid estimates of 
      EE, whereas the SW tended to overestimate EE.
