Methods and Table 1 confirm 76 participants, three trials per speed, unchanged aids, 3–57-day retest, and comfortable-speed MDC 95 values 0.10/0.15/0.18 m/s. Results give a 0.05 m/s retest increase and stroke duration range 5–324 months.
Source locator: audit evidence record L61-76;Table1 L128-151;Discussion L205-207
Limitations: The sample is predominantly chronic; its range includes a five-month participant. The original high-speed stratum has 15 people, and the alternative >0.93 m/s stratum has eight.
