Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main study parameter for gait pattern: Stride length, stride frequency and walking speed. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Parameters for differences in gait stability: Center of mass velocity, center of mass medio-lateral deviation, interstep time variability. Next to these secondary outcome parameters, interlimb coordination will be assessed. Descriptive study parameters: - Clinical characteristics: Unified Parkinson*s Disease Rating Scale, - Walking performance: 10 meter walk test; freezing of Gait Questionnaire - Balance performance: Single leg stance test - Duration of the disease | — |
