Table 1 Calculation of the SMoS based on the primary gait metrics of WS and DSC

From: Proposed objective scoring algorithm for walking performance, based on relevant gait metrics: the Simplified Mobility Score (SMoS™)—observational study

Walking speed (WS)

Daily step count (DSC)

WS (v)

Points (A)

DSC

Points (B)

v < 1.35 m/s

(v/1.35) × 50

DSC < 10,000

(DSC/10,000) × 50

v > 1.35 m/s

50

DSC > 10,000
