Assessing the Reliability and Validity of a Shorter Walk Test Compared With the 10-Meter Walk Test for Measurements of Gait Speed in Healthy, Older Adults

Denise M. Peters, Stacy L. Fritz, Debra Krotish

Short summary

A 4-Meter Walk Test shows excellent test-retest reliability (ICC 0.96-0.98) but is not interchangeable with the 10-Meter Walk Test for gait speed in healthy older adults, with Bland-Altman analysis revealing a discrepancy of ±0.15 to ±0.17 m/s.
