Article Snippet: Prajapati et al. [ ] , The ABLE system (accelerometer for bilateral lower extremities): comprised 2 commercial triaxial accelerometers (Sparkfun Electronics) , Waist and bilateral ankles , Steps Cadence Number/mean of walking bouts Total walking time Total structured walking time Swing symmetry Temporal gait symmetry , Primary: On average, patients exhibited 47.5 (± 26.6) minutes of total walking time and walking duration bouts of 54.4 (± 21.5) secs during an inpatient day Secondary: A significant association was observed between the number of walking bouts and 1) total walking time (r = 0.76; p < 0.006) and 2) lab gait speed (r = 0.51; p < 0.045); and 2), as well as between slower lab gait speed and lower BBS score (r = 0.60; p < 0.013) Patients were highly variable with respect to their frequency and duration of walking activity , Process: To compare laboratory-based gait symmetry measures with wireless accelerometer-based measures of symmetry A significant difference was found between wireless accelerometer-based swing symmetry measures and lab-based measures (p = 0.006); 12 of 16 patients were more asymmetrical during the course of the day (i.e. as measured by wireless sensors.
