title: Assessment of physical activity in people with diabetes and peripheral neuropathy.
abstract: This study evaluates the validity of the Step Activity Monitor (SAM) for assessing physical activity in neuropathic people with diabetes and the relation with self-reported physical activity. SAM was shown to be valid. Although SAM and self-reported physical activity are correlated, caution should be taken with self-reported data when monitoring individuals.
