Descriptive statistics are presented as mean ± standard deviation. LoA = limits of agreement; LoA% = upper limits of agreement in percentage; ‘rp’ = partial Pearson’s product–moment correlation coefficient; CI = confidence intervals; SLAv = average step length; STAv = average step time; SLVr = step length variability; STVr = step time variability; SLAs = step length asymmetry; STAs = step time asymmetry; WS = walking speed.
