  1. ICCs of data measured using both devices were used to determine validity. ICCs of data measured on the two separate days were used to determine the test-retest reliability of each system
  2. Normal speed – habitual walking speed; slow speed – 85 % normal walking speed; fast speed – 115 % normal walking speed
