1 Evidence For Clinical and Research Walking Activity Measurement in Cerebral Palsy with the StepWatch (SW) Kristie F. Bjornson, PT, PhD, MS Associate Professor Pediatrics Seattle Children s Research Institute University of Washington Kristie.bjornson@seattlechildrens.org AACPDM 218 FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE AACPDM 72 nd Annual Meeting October 9-13, 218 Speaker Name: Kristie Bjornson, PT, PhD, MS 1. Disclosure of Relevant Financial Relationships Grant/Research support from: F31NS4874-NINDS SCH Dept of Orthopedic Surgery SCRI Academic Enrichment Fund K23HD6764 -NICHD R21 HD NICHD/NCMRR 2. Disclosure of Off-Label and/or investigative uses: I will not discuss off label use and/or investigational use in my presentation. Objectives: Understand validity & accuracy of the SW strides taken in typically developing children/youth (TDCY) &with CP. Understand the walking activity levels and intensity of TDCY &with CP. Examine evidence for SW monitoring duration by Gross Motor Function Level (GMFCS) in children/youth with CP. Exemplars- clinical & research SW application in children with CP. 1

2 Physical Activity Walking Activity When we are not looking3 how and how much are they walking? Terminology: Walking Activity (WA) step or stride taken for mobility, depending on device may be step or stride Step-counts both left and right steps Stride step of one leg/side-3dg lab 2

3 ICF model: WHO 21 Health Condition Body Functions & Structures Activities Participation Environmental Factors Personal Factors International Classification of Functioning, Disability & Health. 21; WHO Walking Activity Measurement Level of Ability versus Level of Activity Capacity Performance Relationship of Stride Activity to Mobilitybased Life Habits in Children with Cerebral Palsy (Bjornson, 213) Average total strides/day was positively associated with the Personal Care, Housing, Mobility, and Recreation Life-H categories. Moderate/High walking stride rates (Ave > 3 stride/min/day) was associated with all categories Walking activity performance is significantly associated with levels of participation in mobility-based life habitsfor ambulatory children with CP. 3

5 Pediatric StepWatch Accuracy/Precision & comparison to Pedometers: Mitre et al (29)-treadmill trial Lean and obese children Omron and Digiwalkerpedometers undercounting compared to manual counts (worse at slower speeds) StepWatch had negligible error to manual counts of steps taken StepWatchAccuracy to Observed Strides: TDY 2 normally developing children Age groups 5-7 years & 9-11 years 3-Two week intervals: 2 months apart Comparison manual counts Walking 96-97% Running 99% Song K.
