Table 8.

Gait parameters related to fall risk sorted by importance (total times and significance). R: Ranking, T: number of total Times that each parameter is included, Sig: number of times that each parameter is considered “Significant”, and NSig: number of times that a parameter is considered as “Nonsignificant” among fall risk patients. Symbol “*” marks the inconsistencies.

4	Stride Length (m)	2	1	1 *
5	Cadence (steps/min), Total Distance per Bout/Test, Trunk Stability, Trunk Control (Kinematic Parameters), Center of Pressure (CoP) Deviations, Dynamic Stability	1	1	0
