Abstract EN
Walking on irregular terrain influences gait of diabetic patients.
We investigate the test-retest reliability and construct validity of gait measured with the DynaPort MiniMod under single and dual task conditions in diabetic patients walking on irregular terrain to identify the measurement error (precision) and minimal clinical detectable change.
29 patients with Type 2 diabetes were measured once, and 25 repeated the measurement within 7 days.
Patients walked on a therapy garden walkway.
Differences between three groups of diabetics with various levels of lower extremity neuropathy were analyzed with planned contrasts.
ICC was excellent for intervisit measurements with ICC's >0.824.
Bland and Altman Plots, SEM, and SDD showed precise values, distributed around zero for both test conditions.
A significant effect of grouping on step length performance hints at possible construct validity of the device.
Good reliability of DynaPort MiniMod measurements on a therapy garden walkway and an indication for discriminatory capability suggests that DynaPort MiniMod could facilitate the study of gait in diabetic patients in conditions close to real-life situations.
Good reliability, small measurement error, and values of minimal clinical detectable change recommend the further utilization of DynaPort MiniMod for the evaluation of gait parameters in diabetic patients.
