Functional gait training on the C-mill. The C-mill is an instrumented treadmill
with embedded force plates. On this treadmill visual stimuli can be projected.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary outcome measure is the gait adaptability measure with stepladdertest. The score includes measurement time and number of failures. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are determined during an obstacle avoidance task and motor plan and online correction tasks on an instrumented treadmill. In addition motor control (muscle coordination) during gait will be assessed. Furthermore, the following clinical tests are performed: a standardized obstacle course based on the obstacle subtask of the Emory Functional Ambulation Profile, the 10 meter walking test, functional muscle strength test (FSM-CP). Perceived athletic competence will be measured with the Motorische Competentiebelevingsschaal voor Kinderen(CBSK-M), Self-perception of performance in everyday living with the Canadian Occupational Measure (COPM) and the Quality of life with the NL-KIDSCREEN-52. | — |
