Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Parameters will be used to evaluate the difference in fractions of steps that exceed the maximum allowed load with or without the use of an Auditory BioFeedback (ABF) device. Pa-rameters will be used to indicate the learning curve involved in adapting to the use of an ABF device.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
An interview will be conducted after the second session, giving an indication of user accep-tance of the biofeedback training in general and the tested ABF device.	—
