| The third variable of the study is the number of sessions needed to train patients to use the device. Timepoint: In this study, the number of sessions required for patients after completing their training is evaluated and calculated. The total number of sessions will be calculated when patients have the necessary ability to use the device to get up and walk. Method of measurement: The number of patient training sessions will be recorded in the office and the number of sessions will be calculated based on the days recorded.;The ambulation pace of patients is the result of the distance traveled by the duration of walking in each session. Timepoint: At the end of each training session, the distance traveled by the patients is recorded and divided to the duration of travel. Method of measurement: This variable is obtained by dividing the distance traveled by time. The unit of measurement is meters per second.;The first variable is the distance traveled by the patient using the device.Its definition includes the displacement performed by patients by lower extremities and with the aid of the device. Timepoint: The time to measure this variable is at the end of each training session. Method of measurement: The distance traveled by patients will be measured and recorded.;The second variable in this study is the duration of walking and standing of each patient. Its definition includes amount of time spent by the patient walking and standing during a session. Timepoint: The time to measure this variable is at the end of each training sessions. Method of measurement: Minutes are route of measurement and reporting this variable. | — |
