Despite public focus on the importance of physical activity and findings showing the benefits of such activity, research has shown that people with dementia are less physically active and have more sedentary behaviour compared to others in similar age groups. In Norway, there is a focus on day care services as a means to allow people with dementia to experience social, physical and cultural activities. Farm based services have been highlighted as an innovative and customized day care service, but little research has been done on physical activity and such services. This study therefor aims to investigate the potential of farm-based day care services as services that can promote physical activity for people with dementia.

Commercial instrument supplier for human activity monitors. ActiGraph devices are used by researchers and clinicians in hundreds of universities and research organizations in more than 56 countries. ActiGraph activity monitors are the most validated and widely used devices of their kind. ActiGraph activity monitors use triaxial accelerometers and our validated proprietary filtering algorithms to accurately measure the amount and intensity of human activity. They are powered by rechargeable lithium ion batteries, and battery charging and communication are accomplished via a standard USB connection. All ActiGraph activity monitors can be worn at the waist or wrist and are suitable for subjects of all ages. ActiGraph devices have been used in hundreds of research studies in nearly 60 countries around the world since 1992. Leading research facilities including the U.S. National Institute of Health (NIH), the Institute of Child Health in the UK, and Karolinska Institutet in Sweden rely on our products to provide objective activity measurement in dozens of areas including obesity, diabetes, sleep, elderly behavior, and athletics. ActiGraph often works with scientific organizations to develop and implement software and hardware features that reflect the evolving needs of the research community. ActiGraph devices are well recognized as some of the most accurate activity measurement products on the market. Extensive research has confirmed our accuracy against the VO2 and doubly labeled water (DLW) methods of estimating energy expenditure.
