    Relationships between FES scores (range, 0−120; higher scores indicate higher confidence) and (A) POMA scores (range, 0−28; higher scores indicate better gait and balance), (B) GDS scores (range, 0−15

    Relationships between FES scores (range, 0−120; higher scores indicate higher confidence) and (A) POMA scores (range, 0−28; higher scores indicate better gait and balance), (B) GDS scores (range, 0−15; higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms), and (C) performance in BADLs (range, 0−6; higher scores indicate higher independence). Shaded areas correspond to the 95% CIs around regression line.
