All estimated measures reported in this table are mean [standard deviation] values unless otherwise noted. NA not available. Studies were selected from a PubMed search using “Gait activity”, “Gait speed”, and “Parkinson’s disease” and included studies where wearable sensors were worn outside a clinical setting in the real world.
