I am a bit confused as to why we need to categorize the measures of gait

that would operationally define physical impairment

It would make sense to use cut-off scores like we did with mmse to define the states. However, we are not using gait as the outcome (to define the states, transitions among which we study), but as the predictor.

We did indeed applied this to education, but only (if I recall correctly) to accommodate the scales of this measure in specific studies. I hope we could touch on this during discussion.
