Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary outcome measures are the maximal weight transfer onto a single limb during a standing lateral weight-shifting exercise, the mean velocity of the centre of pressure during quiet stance and the walked distance during one minute of straight walking.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
The amount of weight exerted onto the crutches during quit stance, maximal weight shift and at heel strike during gait. Furthermore, the patients experience will be evaluated with the QUEST-score part I, the SUS-score and a VAS-score.	—
