Study flow diagram. Regarding the two patients with a dual diagnosis, one had undefined peripheral neuropathy plus myopathy, and the second suffered hemiparesis due to a stroke and Parkinson’s disease. Eleven patients were affected by an uncommon polyneuropathy (e.g., chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, genetic demyelinating neuropathies), and one patient had a rare stroke (stroke in Behcet’s disease). Due to unexpected problems with the inertial sensors (e.g., the sensors were not fully charged), instrumented TUG (ITUG) measures were unavailable for 16 patients. Three patients were excluded because of an operator error during the 10 m walking test (10 mWT). The primary analysis consisted of logistic regression modeling with faller vs. non-faller as the response variable.
