The construct validity of the GAIT is high, as a measure of gait coordination in people with MS. Specifically, there was excellent correlation with the RVGA. There was a moderate correlation for the GAIT with measures of functional mobility, but a lesser correlation of the GAIT with measures restricted to temporal gait characteristics (speed measures) or measurements of impairments underlying gait patterns such as balance or muscle tone.
