Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Non-linear measures of walking including the Lyapunov exponent and Floquet multipliers calculating local and orbital stability. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: Lyapunov exponent formula: y(i)= 1/?t Floquet multipliers formula: S_(k+1 )=F(S_k ).;User experience (UX) evaluated by applying the AttarkDiff questionnaire. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: User experience (UX) evaluated by applying the AttarkDiff questionnaire. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The timed Up and Go test (TUG) to assess mobility in adults or predict their risk of falls. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: The timed Up and Go test (TUG), subjects are asked to rise from a standard armchair, walk to a marker 3 m away, turn, walk back, and sit down again.;The 6-Minute Walk Test. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: The 6-Minute Walk Test is a sub-maximal exercise test used to assess aerobic capacity and endurance. The distance covered over a time of 6 minutes is used as the outcome by which to compare changes in performance capacity.;Assessing the virtual environment's effects on an individual's health. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: The Simulator Sickness Questionnaire.;Fear of falling. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: The Falls Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I).;Evaluating balance. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: The Berg Balance scale (BBS). | — |
