abstract：OBJECTIVE:Using raw, sub-second-level accelerometry data, we propose and validate a method for identifying and characterizing walking in the free-living environment. We focus on sustained harmonic walking (SHW), which we define as walking for at least 10 s with low variability of step frequency. APPROACH:We utilize th...
