Toward Harmonized Treadmill-Based Validation of Step-Counting Wearable Technologies: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The authors conducted a scoping review as a first step toward establishing harmonized (ie, consistent and compatible), empirically based best practices for validating step-counting wearable technologies.

Purpose

To catalog studies validating step-counting wearable technologies during treadmill ambulation.

Methods

The authors searched PubMed and SPORTDiscus in August 2019 to identify treadmill-based validation studies that employed the criterion of directly observed (including video recorded) steps and cataloged study sample characteristics, protocol details, and analytical procedures. Where reported, speed- and wear location-specific mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) values were tabulated. Weighted median MAPE values were calculated by wear location and
