How do pedometer brands rate?

The article focuses on pedometers. A recent study found New Lifestyles' pedometers--Lifecorder, NL-2000 and Digi-Walker--to be the most accurate and reliable of 10 brands. They were exceptionally accurate, having 95% prediction intervals that were within +/-17 steps from zero. They were the only pedometers accurate to within +/-3% of the actual steps taken. Their intra-model reliability was also exceptionally high.
