Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Gait parameters:? Primary outcome measure will be most relevant spatio-temporal gait ?parameters, including step length,cadence, gait velocity, and double stance ?phase. They will be evaluated objectively through Tactile force and pressure ?measurement system (Tekscan ?Walkway?^TMv. 7.02x) at the Gait ?Analysis Laboratory in the faculty of physical therapy, Modern University ?for Technology and Information.? | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| ?Functional mobility through:? Timed up and Go test TUG is a simple test to measure a person's level of mobility and requires static ?and dynamic balancing skills. It measures the time and takes a person to get up ?from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, return to the chair and sit down ?again | — |
