Abstract
Our preliminary results suggest that in controlled conditions, the Fitbit-Zip fairly accurately measures step-count during walking in people with PMR receiving treatment. However, device error was greater than data published in healthy people. The ActiGraph may not be recommended without activation of the LFE. We identified clinical and gait-related factors associated with higher levels of functional impairment that reduced device accuracy. Further work is required to evaluate the validity of the activity monitors in field conditions.
