Table 2 Raw and calibrated instrument output derived through repeated measurements in setting #2 in the mechanical setup. Data are Means and standard deviations with 95% CI, and coefficients of variation

From: Unit-specific calibration of Actigraph accelerometers in a mechanical setup – Is it worth the effort? The effect on random output variation caused by technical inter-instrument variability in the laboratory and in the field
