  1. ICC = Intraclass Correlation, CI = confidence interval, SD = standard deviation.
  2. *Negative differences indicate GAITRite® higher than PKmas®.
  3. ICC (2,1) absolute agreement, ICC(3,1) consistency (with 95% CI), mean difference (with SD and mean difference as a percentage of the mean GAITRite® value), and 95% limits of agreement for the total cohort. All ICCs were significant at p < 0.001.
