^aBased on Perry et al. [69]: household ambulation = overground walking speed < 0.4 m/s; limited community ambulation = 0.4 to 0.8 m/s; full community ambulation > 0.8 m/s
^bGaitRite was used to measure walking speed; thus, measurements could not be taken if an assistive device was require
^cSlowest possible treadmill setting
^dBased on Fiedler et al. [70]
