Table 5 Mean Spearman’s cross-correlations between SMS subscores over 6 sample medical raters.
| SMS subscore | Trunk posture | Leg movement | Arm movement | Gait speed | Gait fluency | Stability/ risk of falling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trunk posture | – | .588 | .529 | .562 | .568 | .496 |
| Leg movement | .588 | – | .686 | .726 | .759 | .715 |
| Arm movement | .529 | .686 | – | .608 | .625 | .606 |
| Gait speed | .562 | .726 | .608 | – | .765 | .700 |
| Gait fluency | .568 | .759 | .625 | .765 | – | .719 |
| Stability/risk of falling | .496 | .715 | .606 | .700 | .719 | – |
| All correlations are significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed). | ||||||
