Abstract
Objectives To evaluate the relationship between walking speed and muscle strength in the lower extremities in healthy persons and in persons with late effects of polio and to compare the models for these relationships. Design Retrospective analysis. Setting University hospital department. Participants An urban sample of 144 healthy men and women (age range, 40-79 y) and 234 (146 women, 88 men) subjects with late polio. Interventions Not applicable. Main outcome measures Muscle strength in the lower extremities was measured and combined into an index. Walking speed for spontaneous and maximal walking was measured. A nonlinear regression model was developed. Results Evidence was provided for the nonlinear relationship between walking speed and strength. A specific strength threshold could not be identified. The asymptote of this curve for maximal walking was 2.57 m/s in the healthy group and 2.02 m/s in the subjects with late effects of polio. A high body mass index (>25 kg/m2) lowered the asymptote. Conclusions It is important to prevent strength decrease that approaches the critical level where a further reduction affects walking speed more evidently. The difference in the relationship between muscle strength and walking speed for the 2 groups studied may partly depend on biomechanic imbalance between muscle groups.

Participants were possibly above the threshold required to see meaningful differences from resistance training, as seen in the relatively small change scores.
“Although a precise threshold has not been identi fi ed, 119,120 participants were possibly above the threshold required to see meaningful differences from resistance training, as seen in the relatively small change scores.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
