Table 2. The assessment of concurrent validity between two gait measurement instruments and an analysis of error.

The results of inter-instruments agreement and error of measurement in group of healthy adults (HA) and patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Paired t-test p-value, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Passing-Bablok (PB) slope, intercept and residuals mean are reported.

Paired t-test: p-value ICC(2,k): rho (95% CI) PB: slope (95% CI) PB: intercept (95% CI) PB: residuals mean (1.96 RSD) PB: MSE
