Concurrent validity of the step time and walking speed obtained from the smartphone application CareCoaching in independent, community-dwelling older adults.

[Purpose] In this study, we verified the validity of the step time and walking speed obtained from the smartphone gait analysis application CareCoaching. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 66 independent, community-dwelling adults aged 65 years or older who performed a 10-m walking test twice each under preferred- and slow-speed conditions. We concurrently measured gait motions using CareCoaching and the OptoGait system for reference data.
