Table 2.

Margin of stability (MOS) values during the first half of the swing phase (minimum value) and at heel strike for ‘normal’, quick, and slow steps. Values presented are least square means (adjusted for walking speed) with 95% confidence intervals in brackets.

	Normal steps	Quick steps	Slow steps	p-value
Min. MOS_A in swing (cm)	−21.2 [−22.3, −20.1]	−25.7 [−26.8, −24.6]		0.0005^*
MOS_A at heel strike (cm)	10.2 [8.4, 12.0]	8.2 [6.4, 10.0]		0.19
Min. MOS_P in swing (cm)	31.9 [31.7, 32.2]		31.1 [30.8, 31.3]	<0.0001^*
MOS_P at heel strike (cm)	71.0 [70.6, 71.3]		71.4 [71.0, 71.7]	0.0032^*
Min. MOS_M in swing (cm)	−4.4 [−4.6, −4.1]	−5.3 [−5.6, −5.0]		0.0003^*
MOS_M at heel strike (cm)	17.1 [16.9, 17.3]	17.0 [16.8, 17.1]		0.30
Min. MOS_L in swing (cm)	11.1 [10.6, 11.5]		10.6 [10.2, 11.1]	0.0025^*
MOS_L at heel strike (cm)	19.1 [18.6, 19.6]		18.9 [18.4, 19.4]	0.11

Statistically significant at p<0.0083.

MOS_A=MOS in the anterior direction, MOS_M=MOS in the medial direction, MOS_P=MOS in the posterior direction, MOS_L=MOS in the lateral direction.
