Can RFID Technology Capture Stair Walking

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Physical Activity, Blood Pressure

In brief

There are two main aims for this study: 1. conduct a proof-of-concept study illustrating how radio-frequency identification technology can be used to document the timestamps and duration of stair walking (ascending and descending stairs), and detect if an individual is stationary in the stairwell. 2. assess the association of a 4-min bout of self-paced stair walking with changes in blood pressure, mood, and perceived exertion.
