I walk off balance due to a disability and I am trying to figure out if stride effects step count. My steps are more ten I actually take.

No tje stride has no affect on the step count, a step is a step. 

The stride is multiplied by your steps to calculate the distance. 

Count the steps then multiply this step count number by how many inches you travel in a step and that is how far you walked.
