Interventions

The clinical part of this study contains two tests: a ten meter walkingtest at a personally chosen comfortable walking speed and a *Timed up-and-go* test [23]. These test will both be performed thre

Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: * 20 years of age or older * clinically diagnosed with Huntington's disease * eligible to wear AFO according to the clinical process in Overduin. * able to walk a minimum of 2 minutes continuous on a level surface

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: * being diagnosed with orthopedic, neurologic or other conditions other than Huntington's disease, wich can influence gait. * not being able to understand instructions.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
- times measured with the ten meter test and the Timed up-and-go test - size of stridevariability (standard deviation) - composition of stridevariability (DFA)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
- intensity of arm- and legmovements (maximum and average acceleration) - regularity in arm- and legmovements (sample entropy) - local stability of arm-and legmovements (greatest lyapunov exponent) - questionaire	—
