1 Assessing walking ability in subjects with spinal cord injury: Validity and reliability of 3 walking tests  Hubertus J. van Hedel, PT, MS, Markus Wirz, PT, Volker Dietz, MD  Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation  Volume 86, Issue 2, Pages (February 2005) DOI: /j.apmr Copyright © 2005 American Congress of Rehabilitation Medicine and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Relationships between the timed walking tests and WISCI II. Relationships between (A) the WISCI II and TUG, (B) the WISCI II and 10MWT, and (C) the WISCI II and 6MWT. Subjects were divided into 2 groups according to the WISCI II independent walkers (without use of parallel bars or assistance) and dependent walkers (dependent on parallel bars or the support of another person).

3 Fig 2 Relationships between the timed walking tests. Relationship between (A) the 10MWT and TUG tests, (B) the TUG and 6MWT, and (C) the 10MWT and 6MWT.

4 Fig 3 Intra- and interrater reliability of 3 timed walking tests. Scatterplots showing (A) intrarater and (B) interrater results of (top) the TUG, (middle) the 10MWT, and (bottom) the 6MWT.

5 Fig 4 Bland-Altman plot to assess reliability of walking tests. (A) Intrarater and (B) interrater reliability plots using the Bland-Altman plot, that is, the differences between scores are plotted against the averaged scores for (top) the TUG, (middle) the 10MWT, and (bottom) the 6MWT. The 95% Cls of the TUG and 6MWT are not shown for the intrarater reliability, because the differences between the measurements differed significantly from zero and, therefore, reliability could not be assessed.
