      adults with pathology: a systematic review.

AB  - RATIONALE, AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: Walking speed is an important performance 
      variable, but information on the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) 
      for the measure has not been consolidated. In this review, we aimed to summarize 
      information on the MCID for change in comfortable gait speed measurements for 
      patients with pathology. METHODS: Relevant literature was identified by searches 
      of four databases (PubMed, Web of Knowledge, CINAHL and Scopus), hand searches 
      and consultation with an expert. Inclusion required that articles reported a MCID 
      for comfortable gait speed measurements. Articles were excluded if the MCID was 
      not determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. 
      Articles were abstracted for information on participants, interventions, gait 
      speed documentation and the determination of MCID. Quality was assessed using a 
      hybrid 9-item (0-18 point) instrument. RESULTS: Seven articles were selected 
      based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The populations studied included 
      stroke (n = 3), hip fracture (n = 2), multiple sclerosis (n = 1) and mixed 
      (n = 1). Using 13 different anchors the studies reported MCIDs of 
      0.08-0.26 m s(-1) . All but three of these MCIDs were between 0.10 and 
      0.20 m s(-1) . All MCIDs for which the area under the ROC curve exceeded 0.70 
      were between 0.10 and 0.17 m s(-1) . CONCLUSIONS: Changes in gait speed of 0.10 
      to 0.20 m s(-1) may be important across multiple patient groups.
