The study aims to identify the most accurate methods for measuring stride counts using various wearable sensors in post-stroke and healthy adults.
Eighteen post-stroke and 18 healthy adults walked on an instrumented treadmill at various speeds.
Participants wore six ActiGraph accelerometers at different body locations and pressure insoles.
Accuracy was evaluated using a custom algorithm and the manufacturer's algorithm against a gold-standard treadmill.
Pressure-sensing insoles showed the highest accuracy in stride counting (CCC = 0.999 for healthy; 0.996 for post-stroke).
The custom peak-detection algorithm for ankle-worn accelerometers provided accurate estimates (CCC = 0.986 in healthy; 0.990 in post-stroke).
The manufacturer's algorithm consistently misestimated stride counts in both populations.
