Validity of wearable actimeter computation of total energy expenditure during walking in hemiparetic stroke patients

Conclusions. This new method based on the energy cost and distance estimated by wearable devices provided better energy expenditure estimates for the pedometer than did the manufacturer’s algorithm. The validity of this method depended on the accuracy of the sensor to measure the distance walked by an individual after stroke.
