“…Balance is important to healthy aging and influences many physical and functional activities including climbing stairs and walking (Jerome et al, 2015). Though it is important for all individuals, including adults with ASD, to maintain or increase their balance so that they stay mobile and avoid falls, few studies have conducted gait analyses of adults with ASD.…”

“…In one of the few studies of gait patterns of adults with ASD, Hallett et al (1993) demonstrated that participants were identified as having a nonspecific, neurological disturbance of the motor system and a disturbance of the cerebellum. In addition, Jerome et al (2015) concluded that gait skills decline with age in older adults. Balance and gait challenges that are common to people with intellectual disabilities (ID) and ASD increase their incidence of falls; thus, physical activity interventions are recommended to improve adults' gait and balance as they age (e.g., Aboutorabi, Arazpour, Bahramizadeh, Hutchins, & Fadayevatan, 2016;Dattilo, Martire, Gottschall, & Weybright, 2013).…”

Effects of B-Active2 (Enjoy Being Physically Active by Walking Safely: A Leisure Education Program) on the risk of falls, stress, and well-being of a sample of 44 adults with ASD (ages M = 36.88; SD =7.31) were examined using a controlled experimental trial. Given the relationship between physical activity and stress reduction to individual well-being, B-Active2 was developed as a multidimensional program involving leisure education and walking designed to create an enjoyable context in which adults with ASD learn about and engage in physical activity. All participants were evaluated on balance, gait, well-being, and stress at baseline and at 1 month postintervention by a team of therapists blind to study objectives. There was a significant difference postintervention on balance, F(1, 40) = 55.63, p < .001, η = .58; gait, F(1, 40) = 23.58, p < .001, η =.37; and well-being, F(1, 40) = 34.16, p< .001, η = .47). No statistically significant effect was found for level of stress reduction, F(1, 40) = 0.27, n.s. Results of this study support the conclusion that B-Active2 is a viable leisure education program that promotes physical activity of adults with ASD and has positive effects on their well-being and risk of falls.

BACKGROUND Real-world walking speed is being proposed as the sixth vital sign to track functional health; this requires consideration of how the context of activity affects the individual. For example, as it gets colder outside healthy adults walk faster and increase their cadence (steps/min). Environmental factors (weather conditions, time of year, time of day) and the individual (disease-group, gender, height, BMI) may have a varied impact on walking speed across disease cohorts. OBJECTIVE The aim of the paper is to examine the relationship between temperature and wind speed with measures of outdoor walking speed (cadence) across disease groups and healthy adult controls. Expected differences between disease groups and healthy controls were expected to be found. METHODS As a part of a technical validation study assessing worn mobility trackers (Mobilise-D), participants were asked to carry a smartphone with an installed tracking app recording GPS location, step activity and local temperature and wind speed, of walking bouts for seven consecutive days. A total of 57 participants were assessed included: 16 healthy adults, 12 patients with Multiple Sclerosis, 17 patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease and 12 with Parkinson’s disease. RESULTS Pearson and Spearman Rank correlation coefficients were obtained for associations between hourly temperature and wind speed against hourly measurements of cadence and physical activity. Temperature and wind speed were found to be positively correlated with cadence (CI: -.437, -.228). Fisher’s r groupwise comparison established significant differences for associations of weather and mobility between health adults and COPD (p <.001), MS (p =.032), and PD (p = .007). The opposite effect of temperature on physical activity was observed in MS compared against COPD, PD and HA groups. CONCLUSIONS Mobility impaired disease groups are affected by the weather in a dissimilar pattern to that of healthy adults. This should be accounted for when measuring digital mobility outcomes of various patient groups. Smartphone apps for real world cadence appear to be very similar to those recorded by wearable sensors for both healthy adults and disease groups
