(Physiotherapy New Zealand; 2013)The average community walking distance is often cited to be 300 metres and increases if more than one task is performed. On average, disabled older adults complete one task per trip whereas healthy older adults undertake ... -
(Elsevier; 2009)Objective To determine whether circuit-based rehabilitation would increase the amount and rate that individuals with stroke walk in their usual environments. Design Single-blind randomized controlled trial. Setti ... -
(Elsevier; 2009)Objectives To examine the relationship among 4 clinical measures of walking ability and the outputs of the StepWatch Activity Monitor in participants with stroke. Design Correlational study. Setting Clinic and ... -
(Elsevier; 2007)Objectives To test the validity of the StepWatch Activity Monitor (SAM) in subjects with stroke against 2 criterion standards, 3-dimensional gait analysis (3-DGA) and footswitches in a variety of indoor and outdoor walking ... -
(John Wiley & Sons; 2010)Aim The purpose of this study was to systematically review published evidence on the development, use, and effectiveness of devices and technologies that enable or enhance self-directed computer access by individuals with ... -
Test-retest reliability of the StepWatch Activity Monitor outputs in individuals with chronic stroke(Sage; 2008)Objective: To examine the test—retest reliability of the StepWatch Activity Monitor outputs over two periods, a week apart, in participants with stroke. Design: Test—retest reliability study over monitoring periods of ... -
(Human Kinetics; 2010)Background: Activity Monitors give an objective measure of usual walking performance. This study aimed to examine the test-retest reliability of the StepWatch Activity Monitor outputs (mean steps/day; peak activity index; ... -
(AUT University, Foundation of Rehabilitation Information; 2012)No abstract. -
(BioMed Central Ltd., AUT University; 2012)Background: Postural stability can be measured in clinical and research settings using portable plantar pressure systems. People with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have decreased postural stability compared to non-RA ... -
