  1. Step 1 includes only those predictors that were significantly correlated with the outcome. Variable significance in step 1 is proceeded to stepwise regression. DV: dependent variable; AMT: active motor threshold; cm: centimeter; sec: seconds; CV: coefficient of variation; SS: single support; DS: double support; COP: center of pressure; p: confidence interval *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01.
