Accelerometer-based measures of free-living gait are capable of capturing stride-to-stride variability which may be clinically relevant to understanding mobility decline in patients awaiting arthroplasty.

Patients with end-stage knee OA with lower BMI and achieving a minimum recommended level of daily activity engage in more vigorous daily physical activities pre-surgery.
