Evidence for the Validity of the Modified Dynamic Gait Index Across Diagnostic Groups.
ConclusionsThe strength of the psychometric properties of the mDGI across the five diagnostic groups further supports the validity and usefulness of scores for clinical and research purposes. In addition, the meaning of a score from the mDGI, whether at the task, performance facet, or total score level, was comparable across five diagnostic groups suggesting that the mDGI measured mobility function independent of medical diagnosis.
