This study involved an evaluation of the accuracy of two pedometers against actual steps taken under controlled laboratory conditions (five minute bouts of walking at five different treadmill speeds [41, 54, 67, 80, and 94 m x min(-1)]) among 23 individuals with MS who were ambulatory without an aide. Both pedometers exhibited good accuracy with the 67, 80, and 94 m x min(-1) speeds, but poor accuracy with the 41 and 54 m x min(-1) speeds. Those results support the quantification of physical activity using pedometers among those with MS who are ambulatory without an aide. Langue : ANGLAIS Tiré à part : OUI |
