Components of physical activity parameters in PWS subjects and controls in the AEMS


PWS Controls
Male Female Male Female

Displacement (m/8 hours) 46.73 31.05 69.03 35.57
Vertical MW (kJ/8 hours) 14.59 3.04 19.31 3.63
Horizontal MW (kJ/8 hours) 22.56 5.87 51.27 20.22
Total MW (kJ/8 hours)
37.15 8.91 70.58 23.85

Values are averaged over the entire study period and extrapolated to 8 hours. PWS, Prader-Willi syndrome; MW, mechanical work measured by the force platform.
