Step time (s/week) -0.004 0.001 -0.007 –-0.001 0.004
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.
