Is There Any Relationship between Upper and Lower Limb Impairments in People with Multiple Sclerosis? A Kinematic Quantitative Analysis

Table 4

Spearman’s rho coefficients of correlation between EDSS score and upper and lower limb kinematic parameters in people with multiple sclerosis.

	Kinematic parameter		EDSS score
Lower limb (gait)	Gait speed (m/s)	vs.	−0.819^**
	Stride length (m)		−0.810^**
	Cadence (steps/min)		−0.745^**
	Step width (m)		0.389^**
Upper limb (hand-to-mouth)	Movement velocity	vs.	−0.353^**
	Going phase		−0.427^**
	Adjusting phase		0.422^**
	Return phase		−0.169
	Adjusting sway		0.275^**
