Reliability of the adapted compensatory arm and leg movements scale during perturbation treadmill walking in older adults
The A-CALM scale showed high intra-rater consistency and moderate-to-substantial inter-rater agreement, with greater reliability for arm than leg movements. Single-rater use is recommended to enhance stability, while future work should refine leg scoring and validate the scale in larger cohorts with outcomes like falls and functional decline.
