“Will it track walking on a treadmill if you hang on to the balance bars? I walk on a treadmill post surgery on my ankle and I need to keep my balance by holding the grab bars. Will it still track my steps?”

Put the fitbit on your ankle
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've notice that it doesn't keep track of the steps as well when you hold on.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, unfortunately it requires arm motion to trigger steps being taken. I have tried to walk with holding the bars and no steps were registered.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I do not believe so, as your arm needs to be moving. I would recommend the Zip in that case. I had that previously and if you wear it around your mid section it would track.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it will work on a treadmill. I use it at the gym and my gait is longer than most and I hold on at times to keep from winding up on the floor by striding.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it goes by motion and no matter what your gait(step distance), it will track it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, basically it should measure steps no matter where, is just a sensor
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Not as well, no. It will pick up on the small movements of your wrist, but it will not accurately track your steps. You can try buckling it to the laces on your shoe if you don't need to track your HR. Hope you're doing better!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I've walked on a treadmill and actually seen the steps go up while holding onto the bars. It seems to be able to track your body moving even when your hands are not. Pretty cool.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, it will keep track of every step you take.
