  1. Given are p-values for the Jonckheere test (JT) for significant ordered values and Spearman’s correlation coefficient rho for bivariate correlations between values of the objective measures and subjective valuations for the whole sample ** = p < 0.01for correlations; Categories of self-ratings: 0 = no, 1 = mild, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe, 4 = complete problem; IQR, Interquartile range; 1 RM, leg press, HABAM TS, Hierarchical Assessment of Balance and Mobility (range 0–67); POMA, Tinetti’s Performance Oriented Motor Assessment, Sub-score Balance (range 0–16); TuG, Timed up and go test; BI, Barthel Index sub-items; feasibility of motor testing was partly limited due to motor limitations, medical reasons, or lack of motivation which reduced the sample size for specific outcomes
