Validation of a novel activity monitor in impaired, slow-walking, crutch-supported patients

Conclusions This is the first validation study to assess physical activity with an AM in impaired, slow-walking, crutch-supported patients. The AM was a valid tool for measuring physical activity in these patients. The tool may help in evaluating and optimizing rehabilitation programs for patients after TJA, those recovering from stroke or chronic impaired patients.
