Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main outcome for this study is gait adaptability. Measures of gait adaptability that will be evaluated are: 1) Anticipatory and reactive obstacle avoidance performance (%), quantified as the percentage of successfully avoided obstacles during obstacle crossing while walking on the C-Mill. 2) Stepping accuracy of walking on regular or irregular patterns of stepping targets (mm), quantified in terms of the variation in foot placement relative to the stepping targets while walking on the C-Mill. 3) Gait stability during obstacle crossing and visually guided stepping, quantified in terms of the medio-lateral and backward margins of stability (MoS).	—
