Definition of 'pedometer'. pedometer. A pedometer is a device that measures the distance that someone has walked. ...a small pager with a built-in pedometer to count the number of steps its owner took. COBUILD Advanced English Dictionary.
Data Collection. The number of steps taken daily can be measured by a pedometer in one of two ways. The first is through measuring the movement of the hips. Because when a person walks, his hips are propelled forward in a back-and-forth motion, the pedometer counts every motion a person makes via the hips as a step.nother method a pedometer uses to measure steps taken is to count the actual number of times your feet step on the ground. This is usually reserved for more high-tech monitoring devices, such as specialized shoes that transmit steps-taken data to an iPod or other wireless device for measurement.
