The 2 trials, for each speed, are averaged and the 2 gait speeds are documented in meters/second.ġ) Assistive devices may be used but must be documented from test to test.Ģ) If a patient requires assistance, only the minimum amount of assistance required for a patient to complete the task should be provided.
