Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The percentage of incorrect steps, exceeding the maximum or minimum allowed load, will be used to determine the difference in a patient's partial weight bearig compliance with and without the use of the Auditory BioFeedback (ABF) device. The timedifference between warning signals will be used to determine the learning curve by use of the ABF device.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
After the second session an interview will be performed, to give an indication of the user's opinion about the auditory feeback in general and about the use of the auditory biofeedback device.	—
