  1. LEFS Lower Extremity Functional Scale, AP anterior–posterior, ML medial–lateral, VT vertical, RMS root mean square, RMSR root mean square ratio
  2. * Correlations between LEFS and gait parameters were analyzed with the use of Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient
  3. Italic values indicate significance of p  value (p  < 0.05)
