...Gait speed was assessed over 6 m, with the first meter to allow for acceleration to a consistent speed of usual walking before measurement over 4 m and the final meter beyond the end of 4 m to avoid deceleration during the measured distance.(11) The fastest of two recorded trials following one practice trial was used for analysis....

...1 m/s more over baseline at Week 16 in the intervention group than in the placebo group.(11) An initial comparison of changes in gait speed according to treatment group showed similar increases in both treatment arms (Figure 2E), but when changes from baseline were plotted against baseline gait speed, visual inspection suggested that the increase from baseline was greater for participants with slower baseline speed....
