Linear regression models showing relationship between gait speed, chair rise time and mean blood flow velocity by TCD.

Mean Blood Flow Velocity (MBFV),(cm/sec) Gait speed1 Chair rise time1
Beta P-value Beta P-value
ACA 0.10 0.126 −0.12 0.116
MCA 0.18 0.007 −0.17 0.021
BA 0.02 0.826 −0.05 0.502
VA 0.05 0.453 −0.06 0.466

MBFV=mean flow velocity, ACA=average of left and right anterior cerebral arteries, MCA=average of right and left middle cerebral arteries, BA=Basilar artery, VA=average of right and left vertebral arteries. Significant results are bolded in the table.
