Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Description of the three-dimensional intersegmental spinal movement pattern in healthy participants during ambulation at four different walking speeds (2km/h, 3km/h, 4km/h and 5km/h), to define respective reference values; 2. Description of the three-dimensional intersegmental spinal movement pattern in healthy participants during ambulation at four different walking speeds, according to the eight phases of the gait cycle (2km/h, 3km/h, 4km/h and 5km/h), to define respective reference values. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Descriptive presentation of the relationship between the three-dimensional intersegmental spinal movement pattern (C7-L4) and the participants’ sex; 2. Descriptive presentation of the relationship between the three-dimensional intersegmental spinal movement pattern (C7-L4) and the participants’ age; 3. Descriptive presentation of the relationship between the three-dimensional intersegmental spinal movement pattern (C7-L4) and the participants’ level of physical activity; 4. Descriptive presentation of the relationship between the individual three-dimensional spinal movement pattern (C7-L4) and the spinal movement pattern of the respective adjacent spinal segments | — |
