Steps while using a walker

[SpankyBrockStar]

I've had a stroke and require a walker or walking poles or a wheel chair for mobility. My Fitbit Blaze does not track my steps when I am using my walker. I have been told Fitbit can track steps when pushing a shopping cart or baby carriage and I'm wondering if this is true? If it is true, is there a way to adjust either the app or the way I position my hands when using my walker that will track my steps? There is also a treadmill option, does this require swinging arms (ie. I require holding onto the rails for balance). I am also wondering about recumbent bikes rather than outdoor bikes. I would really like to be able to track my progress through physio therapy to gauge how my mobility and endurance are improving.

Welcome to the Community @SpankyBrockStar.

Your Blaze will register your steps depending on your arm movements. If it doesn't detect any movement it will hardly record your information. You can wear your tracker inside of a pocket if you really want to know how many steps you are doing. For more information check the help article How does my Fitbit device calculate my daily activity?.

Let me know if you need anything else.

When I was using a walker I put it around my ankle to capture the steps

You might need an extender and you can search amazon for them
