    Bland-Altman plots that examine the agreement between TCOVS and COVS for the (A) composite score; (B) general mobility score; and (C) ambulation score. The y axis represents the difference between TCO

    Bland-Altman plots that examine the agreement between TCOVS and COVS for the (A) composite score; (B) general mobility score; and (C) ambulation score. The y axis represents the difference between TCOVS and COVS paired scores. The x axis represents the mean of TCOVS and COVS paired scores. Dashed lines represent 95% limits of agreement.

    Bland-Altman plots that examine the agreement between TCOVS and COVS for (A) composite score; (B) general mobility score; and (C) ambulation score. The y axis represents the difference between TCOVS 1 and TCOVS 2 paired scores. The x axis represents the mean of TCOVS 1 and TCOVS 2 paired scores. Dashed lines represent 95% limits of agreement.
