Subgroups were defined as low, moderate, and high according to the Short Physical Performance (SPPB) score. Correlations of the IMU-derived parameters were calculated using Spearman’s Rho test, subgroup comparison was performed using the Kruskal–Wallis test. ROM = Range of motion, ACC = angular component of coefficient of correspondence and SSD = square root of the sum of squared distances * Significant after Bonferroni correction.
