I use a walker and Inspire HR does not seems to count steps accurately. Any suggestions.

Hi @Scbarb since the Inspire HR is wrist based, it relies on your moving your arms to recognize steps. A few who have posted on the forums stated they would put the Fitbit on the walker frame or in a bag attached to it, in order to get the steps to show up. Is that something you could do?

You might want to wear the Fitbit when you don't need to use the walker and especially at night when you're sleeping. It's not a perfect solution, but it might help you to regain some of your steps. When I push a shopping cart, I lose steps, too.

Putting fitbit on ankle definitely gives me more steps and other stuff seems to work too, heart rate, sleep etc. So from now on it is ankle wearing to get accurate reading. Just need slightly long band.
