| Résumé : | Background Step quantification is a good way to characterize the mobility and functional status of individuals with some functional disorder. Therefore, a validation study may lead to the feasibility of devices to stimulate an increase in the number of steps and physical activity level of individuals with Parkinson's Disease (PD). Aim To investigate the validity of mHealth devices to estimate the number of steps in individuals with PD and compare the estimate with a standard criterion measure. Method An observational study in a university laboratory with 34 individuals with idiopathic PD. The number of steps was measured using mHealth devices (Google Fit, Health, STEPZ, Pacer, and Fitbit INC®), and compared against a criterionstandard measure during the Two-Minute Walk Test using habitual speed. Results Our sample was 82% men with a Hoehn and Yahr mean of 2.3 + 1.3 and mean walking speed of 1.2 + 0.2 m/s. Positive and statistically significant associations were found between Google Fit (r = 0.92; p |
