Key result
Four commonly used gait performance tests (TUG, CGS, FGS, 6MW) demonstrated high test-retest reliability (ICC 0.82-0.97) and small measurement errors in individuals with late effects of polio.

Supports gait assessment with these tests in late polio; extends reliability data but leaves open broader validation.
Observational (n=30)
No
Effect estimate: ICC 0.82-0.97 (95% CI 0.65-0.98)
Commonly used gait performance tests (Timed Up & Go, Comfortable Gait Speed, Fast Gait Speed, and 6-Minute Walk) are highly reliable for evaluating gait performance in individuals with late effects of polio.
Flansbjer et al. (2010) conducted an observational in Late effects of polio (post-polio syndrome) (n=30). Gait performance tests (TUG, CGS, FGS, 6MW) was evaluated on Test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient) (ICC 0.82-0.97, 95% CI 0.65-0.98). Four commonly used gait performance tests (TUG, CGS, FGS, 6MW) demonstrated high test-retest reliability (ICC 0.82-0.97) and small measurement errors in individuals with late effects of polio.
