Step length (cm/week) | -0.48 | 0.12 | -0.73 –-0.22 | <0.001 |
Step time CV (%/week) | 1.18 | 0.33 | 0.52–1.85 | <0.001 |
Step length CV (%/week) | 1.24 | 0.36 | 0.51–1.96 | 0.001 |
Sacrum ML velocity RMS (cm/s) | 0.19 | 0.10 | -0.002–0.39 | 0.05 |
Gait speed (cm/s/week) | -0.42 | 0.24 | -0.90–0.04 | 0.07 |
Step width (cm/week) | 0.05 | 0.06 | -0.06–0.18 | 0.34 |
Step width CV (%/week) | 0.01 | 0.20 | -0.38–0.42 | 0.93 |
Sacrum ML ROM (cm/week) | 0.40 | 0.27 | -0.12–0.93 | 0.13 |
eMOS = estimated margin of stability; CV = coefficient of variation; Sacrum RMS ML velocity = root mean square average of sacrum velocity in mediolateral direction; Sacrum ML ROM = sacrum range of motion in mediolateral direction; SD = standard deviation; CI = 95% confidence interval; α = 0.05.
