Accurate pedometer/step counter

I’m handicapped and mostly confined to my bedroom because the bathroom is only a few feet away. When I leave the house, I use a walker for short distances (about 100’-200’) and otherwise use a wheelchair. I have severe balance problems because of Ataxia. It also causes me to walk wobbly and sometimes have tremors.

I want to start building up my walking endurance by gradually increasing my steps a little each day inside the house. Because of the wobbliness, I’ve never had good luck with pedometers being accurate. And since I need to hold onto the walls, furniture, etc. it doesn’t work well for me to try carrying my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions or experience with pedometers that can be worn around the ankle or a fitness watch that are very accurate with the steps?
