The minimum number of at-home monitoring days required to differentiate the at-home gait speed between younger and older groups similar to full data.

For both 95th and median gait speed 1000 bootstraps were drawn for various number of days [1–5] and the t-values were compared to the original t-values. In order to obtain similar group distinguishability compared to full data set, at least 2 and 1 days of at-home monitoring data with 1000 steps were required for median and 95th gait speed, respectively (p > 0.05). t-Original shows the t-statistic for the group difference using the full data, t-bootstrap indicates the mean t-statistic over the bootstrap samples.
