Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main outcome measure is executive functioning. Neurocognitive functioning (inhibition, attention/switching and processing speed) will be assessed with three short neuropsychological tests. Used tests: Children: 'Opposite worlds' and 'Creature counting' from the TEA-CH (Test of Everyday Attention for Children); 'Coding&Symbol Search' from the WISC-V. Adults: Stroop Color and Word test; 'Visual elevator' from the TEA (Test of Everyday Attention for Adults); 'Coding&Symbol Search' from the WAIS-IV. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcome measures are endurance and temporal spatial gait parameters (stride length, step length, velocity, symmetry and cadence). Endurance will be measured with the 2-minute walk test. Temporal-spatial gait parameters will be measured with the GAITRite system and accelerometer. | — |
