Pearson correlation coefficients (r) between the clinical balance measures, falls and 2 versions of the ABC scale

	ABC-6	p ≤	ABC-16	p ≤
Balance measures
UST	0.48	0.01	0.46	0.01
MSL (% of height)	0.73	0.001	0.69	0.001
FR (% of height)	0.34	0.05	0.33	0.05
TUG	−0.69	0.001	−0.65	0.001
Number of falls	−0.33	0.05	−0.17	NS

Notes: MSL and FR were normalized for body height prior to computation of Pearson's r.

NS: not significant
