Table 7.
Gait parameters related to frailty sorted by importance (total times and significance). R: Ranking, T: number of total Times that each parameter was included, Sig: number of times that each parameter is considered Significant, and NSig: number of times that a parameter is considered as “Nonsignificant” among frailty patients.
