Vibratory Threshold and Mobility Measures*
Outcome | Estimate (S.E.) p-value |
---|---|
** Global Mobility | 0.047 (0.011, p<0.001) |
Balance | 0.067 (0.015, p<0.001) |
Gait | 0.045 (0.016, p=0.005) |
Leg Strength | 0.022 (0.012, p=0.061) |
Unstandardized regression coefficients estimated from separate linear regression models adjusted for age, sex, years of education and a term for vibratory threshold. This model was repeated with each of the four outcomes in the table.
Global mobility is a composite measure based on subcomponents balance, gait and leg strength which summarize 11 lower extremity performance measures.
