Notes. ABC = Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale; BPI = Brief Pain Inventory; F8WT = figure-of-8 walking test; HGS = habitual gait speed; PHQ-9: Patient Health Questionnaire-9; SE = standard error; S E st = standardized estimate.

*Within separate multivariable models substituting Trails A for Trails B − A, Trails A was significantly associated with F8WT but not with HGS.
