Table 3 For each surface type (e.g. stairs), the percentage of studies that included each kind of setting (e.g. indoors, VR): surface types were often assessed in more than one setting within a given study (e.g. both indoors and outdoors) so total row values are greater than 100%

From: A systematic review of the measures that have been used to assess surface characteristics in relation to their impact on walking and falling
