Journal ArticleDOI
An Examination of Efficiency during Walking in Children and Adults

Journal ArticleDOI
Advantages and Limitations of Wearable Activity Trackers: Considerations for Patients and Clinicians.
TL;DR: The global market for activity trackers is growing, which presents clinicians with a tremendous opportunity to incorporate these devices into clinical practice as tools to promote activity.
