Table 1.
Age, Gait Speed, Slip Severity, and Degree of SDD Severity for Slow and Fast Walkers
| Slow Walkers (N = 26) | Fast Walkers (N = 24) | |
| Age (y), /Mean (SD) | 66.3 (12.1) | 61.2 (16.9) |
| Gait speed* (m/s)/Mean (SD) | 1.09 (0.08) | 1.30 (0.07) |
| Slip severity* (m/s)/Mean (SD) | 0.70 (0.50) | 1.25 (0.58) |
| SDD distribution† (caudate nucleus) | 9 M, 7 Mod., 10 S | 7 M, 10 Mod., 7 S |
| SDD distribution† (putamen) | 9 M, 6 Mod., 11 S | 7 M, 11 Mod., 6 S |
Notes: M = mild; Mod. = moderate; S = severe; SDD = striatal dopaminergic denervation.
Statistical significance: *p ≤ .01.
