Table 6 Correlations between SF-36 total score and sub-scores and maximum gait speed. Excluding the MS patients changed the following: Total SF-36 and T1 with stimulation OFF: r = 0.29, p = 0.083, N = 37. SF-36-P and T1 with stimulation OFF: r = 0.28, p = 0.093, N = 37. SF-36-E and T2 with stimulation ON: r = 0.30, p = 0.073, N = 37. SF-36-E and T1 with stimulation OFF: r = 0.25, p = 0.13, N = 37; SF-36-E. * = p < 0.05
