Walking speed | 0.5 | 0.6 |
Stride time | 0.2 | 0.3 |
Step time | 0.5 | 0.5 |
Opposite foot off | 0.7 | 0.8 |
Opposite foot contact | 0.1 | 0.1 |
Foot off time | 0.1 | 0.2 |
Single support time | 0.8 | 0.8 |
Double support time | 1.3 | 1.9 |

Legend: CV = Coefficient of variation reported as a percentage. Cadence refers to number of steps per minute. The two measurements reported as <0.1 contained CVs which were below 0.001. A pre-established level of <10 % was used as a threshold for determining appropriate variance in gait measures
