| Physiological Gait Index (PCI). Timepoint: The variable is measured at the moment the test is performed. Method of measurement: The Physiological Cost Index (PCI) is an indirect measure of energy efficiency during walking. It is calculated based on the relationship between heart rate (HR) and walking speed and indicates how much energy a person expends to move.;(Anterior Reach). Timepoint: The variable is measured at the moment the test is performed. Method of measurement: The distance a person can reach while maintaining balance on one limb in the anterior (forward) direction with the other limb without losing balance using the Y-Balance device. | — |
