The findings indicate only modest impact on some indicators of walking.
The findings indicate only small changes in some indicators of walking with a simple and low-cost intervention using pedometers and e-mail messages.
To test this assumption, POMA, FAC and EMS, which are good indicators of walking ability, will be examined at T0. Results based on outcome measures not assessed at T0 should be interpreted with care.
Short trips to pharmacies, groceries, bakeries and primary schools were analyzed and a comparison of accessibility indicators for walking and car was made, considering four different parking scenarios.
There is, sadly, no external indicator of steps walked so you're mostly in the dark when it comes to ambulation.
Convergent validity and discriminative ability were also assessed after setting a priori hypotheses for 2 scales of walking performance, balance confidence, and other indicators of ambulatory ability.
A continuous indicator was calculated as a sum of weekly metabolic equivalent (MET) -minutes per week of walking, moderate - and vigorous-intensity exercise.
Measurement of walking speed is a simple, quick, and easily performed test that is a good indicator of health and survival in older adults, especially after age 75.
To study the characteristics and distribution of the indicator walking speed in the study population, expressed in meters/second to walk 3 meters, we selected different cut-off points to classify each person as slow or not slow.
Gait velocity is an objective, fundamental indicator of post-stroke walking ability.
