Our results demonstrate that the most accurate location of activity monitor placement is the ankle and that when using the low-frequency filter the level of agreement becomes more acceptable on the wrist and hip, in this population. Use of the low activity filter can help minimise inaccurate calculation of steps in people with low vision, particularly those who walk slowly.
