Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To verify the connectivity between prefrontal cortex, motor cortex, pariental cortex and occipital cortex during walking through the electroencephalographic technique that consists of the positioning of a cap with the electroencephalography electrodes and an analysis made in a matlab environment. We expect to find an increase in the number of connectivity points between these regions | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To verify the Continuous relative phase between the arm and leg acceleration signals during walking through 5 accelerometer positioning on wrists, ankles and on 5 lumbar vertebra region and through an analysis made in matlab enviroment. We expect to find an improvement on interlimb coordination through the decrease on phase angles | — |
