  1. #Within-groups differences and confidence intervals calculated using paired t-tests (2-tailed), n = 21. Diff = Difference. 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. * Statistically significant at 0.05.
  2. NEADL = Nottingham Extended ADL index; RNLI = Reintegration to Normal Living Index; FES-1 = Falls Efficacy Scale International; HADS = Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. For all measures except the FES-I and HADS, an increased total score represents improved performance or health.
  3. † Outdoor journeys were calculated by adding each 'leg' completed during an outing. For example, a person who walked to the car, travelled in a car to the shops, walked from the car into shops was recorded as having completed three outdoor journeys.
