Methods matter- construct validity of steps per day in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis
The results suggest that a thigh-worn accelerometer can monitor continuous walking in daily life in individuals with LSS. The thigh-worn accelerometer did not agree with the ankle-worn StepWatch on daily steps. Device type and wear-site should be considered when interpreting step data.
