Table 4.
Gait parameters related to frailty. The parameters are rated from 0 to 2 for each article, where 0: nonsignificant, 1: studied and more or less significant, and 2: significant or discriminant. T: number of total Times that each parameter was included, Sig: number of times that each parameter was considered “Significant”, and NSig: number of times that a parameter was considered as “Nonsignificant” among frailty groups.
