The use of various wearable technologies has enabled researchers and clinicians to monitor patients' activity in a multitude of settings post-stroke. Using data from wearables may provide clinicians with insights into their patients' lived-experiences and enrich their evaluations and plans of care. However, more studies are needed to examine the impact of stroke on community mobility and to improve the accuracy of these devices for gait and mobility assessments amongst persons with altered gait post-stroke.
