Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC); confidence interval (CI). Inter-device reliability was measured between motion capture system (Vicon) and smartphone application (OneStep). Inter-limb reliability was measured between smartphone application device secured onto the left and right limbs. Test–retest intra-device reliability was measured between the smartphone application device on the right thigh between time 1 and time 2

¥< 0.50, poor reliability; 0.50–0.75, moderate reliability; 0.75–0.90, good reliability; > 0.90, excellent reliability
