Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Dynamic loading parameters Maximum dynamic weight-bearing: the peak force applied to the ground during walking Loading rate (LR): an indicator of the body's ability to absorb impact during initial contact Loading impulse: the total force applied over the time the foot is in contact with the ground | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Temporal parameters Gait speed Time to reach maximum load Stance time (left/right) Swing time (left/right) Double support time (left/right) Spatial parameters Stride length (left/right) Step width Step length (left/right) Weight-bearing parameter Static maximum weight-bearing on the affected side | — |
