Maps of correlations among the clinical measures of individuals with SCDS (x-axis) and their kinematic gait measures (y-axis), calculated for: (A) head IMU, and (B) back IMU. Blue and red squares reflect positive and negative correlations, respectively. Brightness and the numbers in each cell of the matrix indicate the number of tasks (out of 10) in which there was a significant correlation between the kinematic and clinical measures (p < 0.05). The two top scatter plots illustrate examples of correlations between the range of the head vertical acceleration during walking with eyes closed and the total score of FGA (significant positive correlation; left plot); and between the range of the head vertical acceleration during walking with eyes closed and the time of cognitive TUG test (significant negative correlation; right plot). SD: standard deviation. acc: acceleration. vel: velocity. Ipsi: ipsilesional. Contra: contralesional. FGA: Functional Gait Assessment scale. TUG: Timed Up and Go test. TUG.Cog: cognitive (dual task) Timed Up and Go test. Lat: lateral. Vert: vertical. AP: antero-posterior. OFI: Oscillopsia Functional Impact questionnaire. DHI: Dizziness Handicap Inventory questionnaire. BAI: Beck Anxiety Index questionnaire. PPPD: Niigata Persistent Postural-Perceptual Dizziness questionnaire. DHI: Dizziness Handicap Inventory questionnaire. Autophony: Autophony Index questionnaire. ABC: Activities-specific Balance Confidence questionnaire. Kinematic data of the head IMU was available for 15 individuals with SCDS.
