Instructions to Clients

Your data quality will be maximized if you instruct your clients about how to wear the StepWatch, provide them with an instructions sheet, and answer any questions they might have. Sample instructions are included in a PDF file included here: Sample Instructions to Clients.

The key concepts to cover with your clients are:

  1. Wear the StepWatch on the outside or inside of the ankle, just above the ankle bone.
  2. Be sure to wear the StepWatch right-side-up. It will not record step data when it is upside-down. The round end is up.
  3. Before going to bed every night, put the StepWatch with whatever you do first in the morning. This will help remind you to put it on first thing in the morning.
  4. Wear the StepWatch all the time you are awake. However, you may wish to remove it while swimming, wading or bathing (unless you want them to wear it during these activities.)
