CTSIB NORMaTIVE DaTa COLLECTION aND RELIaBILITY
CTSIB reliability and predictive score data were collected from 100 randomly recruited people.
All test subjects were healthy, active, working people. Medical history was recorded via a confi-
dential questionnaire. The testing and protocol followed IRB approval and was performed on
site.
In addition to the CTSIB, all 100 recruits participated in a Timed Get up and Go (TUG) and Gait
Speed assessment. The TUG and Gait Speed tests are accepted tests for Balance assessment. The
reason for doing the additional tests with the CTSIB was to strengthen the results when a posi-
tive correlation is made between the three accepted standardized assessments. Subjects were
tested initially then again 2 weeks later. A third follow test was administered 3 months later on
27 of the original 100 subjects. This third test was to negate any learning effect in the initial test-
retest (given they were done consecutively with less than 2 weeks between trials).

Two-way mixed effects model where people effects are random and measures effects are fixed.
a Type C intraclass correlation coefficients using a consistency definition-the between-measure variance is excluded
from the denominator variance.
b The estimator is the same, whether the interaction effect is present or not.
c This estimate is computed assuming the interaction effect is absent, because it is not estimable otherwise.
