PD: Parkinson’s disease; : number of patients; UPDRS-MOT: motor examination score of MDS-UPDRS; MDS-UPDRS: Movement Disorders Society Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale; HY: Hoehn and Yahr stage; S-E: Schwab and England Activities of Daily Living Scale; TUG: the average duration of “timed-up-and-go-test”; TUG_vel: the velocity calculated based on duration of “timed-up-and-go-test”; CWS: customary walking speed during 10 m walk test; FWS: fast walking speed during 10 m walk test; FMWS: fast motivated walking speed during 10 m walk test; correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed); correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed).
