The correlation was calculated between fHIT and DVAtreadmill, between DVAtreadmill (VA difference) at 2, 4, and 6 km/h and OSQ score, and between fHIT (%CA) and OSQ score. Duration of illness was compared between DVAtreadmill outcome and OSQ score, and between fHIT outcome and OSQ score.
During further analyses 3 groups were differentiated: (1) fHIT abnormal vs. normal for rightwards and leftwards head rotations. In case fHIT was abnormal to at least one side, the outcome was considered abnormal during this analysis. (2) DVAtreadmill impossible vs. possible. The impossible subgroup consists of patients that were not able to walk independently at 2, 4, and/or 6 km/h. (3) DVAtreadmill abnormal vs. normal. During this analysis patients with an impossible DVAtreadmill at any speed were considered missing data. Within these groups, OSQ outcomes were compared between the subgroups.
