# appleWalkingSteadinessEvent

A category sample type that records an incident where the user showed a reduced score for their gait’s steadiness.

## Declaration

```swift
static let appleWalkingSteadinessEvent: HKCategoryTypeIdentifier
```

## Discussion

Discussion Samples of this type use values from the HKCategoryValueAppleWalkingSteadinessEvent enumeration. Walking Steadiness events are read-only. You can request permission to read the samples using this identifier, but you can’t request authorization to share them. This means you can’t save new Walking Steadiness events to the HealthKit store. To add test data in iOS Simulator, open the Health app and select Browse > Mobility > Walking Steadiness Notifications > Add Data.
