Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: All groups: 1. The occurrence of any of the following with 3 months prior to inclusion: myocardial infarction, hospitalization for unstable angina, stroke, coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), implantation of a cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRTD) 2. Current medical condition that could interfere with the patient’s compliance COPD: 1. Having undergone major lung surgery (e.g. lung volume reduction, lung transplant) 2. Having a lung tumor 3. Primary respiratory diseases other than COPD 4. Impaired mobility related to non-COPD causes, as judged by the investigator PD: 1. Impaired mobility related to non-PD causes, as judged by the investigator MS: 1. Impaired mobility related to non-MS causes, as judged by the investigator PFF: 1. Impaired mobility related to non-PFF causes, as judged by the investigator CHF: 1. History of COPD =GOLD III 2. Impaired mobility related to non-CHF causes, as judged by the investigator HA: 1. Neurological, respiratory, cardiac or musculoskeletal conditions affecting the ability to walk independently without a walking aid

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measure as of 01/11/2022: Walking speed data in the real-world measured using a single sensor in comparison to walking speed data collected using multi-sensor reference systems in the lab and in the home. The laboratory tasks (45 minutes) and the home environment measurement (2.5 hours unsupervised) take place within 9 days of each other. _____ Previous primary outcome measure: Walking speed in real-world settings, collected via the sensor during a 7-day continual recording of free-living activities in the home environment

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 01/11/2022: Right and left step, stride, turning angle, cadence, distance walked, gait variability and symmetry, and other gait-related outcomes relevant in the real-world measured using a single sensor in comparison to multi-sensor reference systems in the lab and in the home. The laboratory tasks (45 minutes) and the home environment measurement (2.5 hours unsupervised) take place within 9 days of each other. _____ Previous secondary outcome measures: Right and left step, stride, turning angle, cadence, distance walked, gait variability and symmetry, and other gait-related outcomes relevant for assessments in real-world settings, collected via the sensor during a 7-day continual recording of free-living activities in the home environment
