Does my Fitbit still record all my steps on my treadmill if I hold onto the handrails? I feel a little unsteady when I don't hold onto the handrails. How does Fitbit sense steps?

Hi @feallen  the Fitbit is a wrist based device, so it needs your arm swinging to count the steps. Many people pop the Fitbit into their pocket or put it inside their sock to count those steps. Maybe you can try doing that to see your steps get counted.
