* Each subject contributes up to 2 ankles (right and left). The number of hips and ankles listed here is lower than the overall total because MTR was not obtained for all subjects. The model does not account for correlations between ankles in the same subject. Pearson correlation coefficients are used.
† Coefficient errors are ± 1 standard deviation.
‡ MS clinical subtype is modeled as 1 for secondary progressive MS, 0 otherwise.
§ Pearson correlation coefficients for model parameter, holding the others constant.
