Comparison of “No Perceived Improvement” versus “Perceived Improvement” groups

No Perceived Improvement Group Perceived Improvement Group P-value*
Ability to walk leisurely
 n 11 11
 Self-paced 5-m walk speed change, m/s 0.03 ± 0.13 (−0.22, 0.27) 0.1 ± 0.14 (−0.14, 0.32) 0.30
Ability to walk fast
 n 13 9
 Fast-paced 5-m walk speed change, m/s 0.05 ± 0.1 (−0.9, 0.2) 0.09 ± 0.18 (−0.18, 0.41) 0.60
Ability to walk long period of time
 n 13 9
 6MWT distance change, m 8.9 ± 40.7 (−53, 105) 43.3 ± 34.3 (−7, 82) 0.04**

No Perceived Improvement Group where Self-reported change +1 and below; Perceived Improvement Group where Self-reported change +2 and above. Values are n or mean ± SD (min, max). Abbreviation: 6MWT – 6-Minute Walk Test.

*

Mann-Whitney U tests were performed to compare measured change in each outcome between the Perceived versus No Perceived Improvement groups
