Reliability and minimal detectable change for inertial measurement units − Derived stability, symmetry, and smoothness indexes of gait in people with multiple sclerosis
This study showed moderate to excellent reliability for the investigated indexes when calculated based on 10MWT, with the LDLJ showing the highest reliability, thus providing a reliable smoothness metric in pwMS. Also, nRMS showed good reliability, but caution is warranted with iHR due to its lower reliability and higher MDCs.
