Scoped audit evidence
These are source- and component-level audit summaries as of 3 October 2026. Access and comparison scope can differ by report; none certifies every result or the underlying raw data.
Stroke
96 recruited/81 followed 12 months; median 24 days; 23 anyfallers/13 recurrent. Candidates separately ordinal-regressed adjustingcountry, prestroke falls, assistance, thencomfortable 6 m WT. Six COP velocity terms nonsignificant; EOtotal OR 1.26(.61–2.61), speedadjusted 1.29(.61–2.76). MLpelvic displacement OR 6.75(2.20–20.74) afterspeed; stride/asymmetry lose significance. Step/TUGremain. WBB 2×30 s mean, Step 1 trial perstance limb. Shortcapture/accuracy caveats explicit.
Source locator: Methods Participants/Gait/Balance/Statistical analyses; Table 2; Discussion limitations
Limitations: High-dimensional candidate-specific exploratory associations with 23 fallers; no independent model validation or raw-data reanalysis.

- source access: full_body
The primary paper and the lead audit confirm 81/96 follow-ups, 23 fallers and 13 recurrent fallers, median 24 days, an ordinal falls model adjusted for clinical covariates and six-metre speed, and pelvic IQR-OR 6.75 (CI 2.20–20.74).

Limitations: The odds ratio is IQR-scaled and comes from an ordinal falls outcome, not a generic binary any-fall model.
