Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter will be the gait velocity calculated through the IFS (product of the stride length and the stride frequency). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Stride length and stride frequency separately as well as the symmetry in ground reaction force will be the secondary parameters. In addition, the IFS parameters correlated to the gait velocity (assessed independently from the IFS) and the outcome of the questionnaires (HHS, WOMAC-FC and VAS) are secondary parameters. | — |
