Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Acceleration of center of mass collected by the inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor. Timepoint: Measurement of center of mass acceleration before the intervention (prior to wearing the supramalleolar orthosis) and immediately after the intervention (while wearing the supramalleolar orthosis). Method of measurement: An inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor including a three-axis accelerometer and gyroscope.;Velocity of center of mass calculated in MATLAB software using the integration of center of mass acceleration. Timepoint: Measurement of center of mass velocity before the intervention (prior to wearing the supramalleolar orthosis) and immediately after the intervention (while wearing the supramalleolar orthosis). Method of measurement: After measuring center of mass acceleration using the inertial measurement unit sensor, the data will be imported into MATLAB software, version R 2021b. After applying appropriate filters to the acceleration data, the data will be integrated using suitable MATLAB function to calculate the center of mass velocity.;Displacement of center of mass calculated in MATLAB software using double integration of center of mass acceleration. Timepoint: Measurement of center of mass displacement before the intervention (prior to wearing the supramalleolar orthosis) and immediately after the intervention (while wearing the supramalleolar orthosis). Method of measurement: After measuring center of mass acceleration using the inertial measurement unit sensor, the data will be imported into MATLAB software, version R 2021b. After applying appropriate filters to the acceleration data, the data will be double integrated using suitable MATLAB function to calculate the center of mass velocity.;Center of mass path length. Timepoint: Measurement of center of mass path length before the intervention (prior to wearing the supramalleolar orthosis) and immediately after the intervention (while wearing the supramalleolar orthosis). Method of measurement: I | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Balance skills. Timepoint: Measurement of balance skills before the intervention (prior to wearing the supramalleolar orthosis) and immediately after the intervention (while wearing the supramalleolar orthosis). Method of measurement: The balance subset of the Bruininks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, which includes 9 activities. | — |
