Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Gait is expected to improve evaluated in the gait laboratory through the following parameters: increase in step length, increase in gait speed and facilitation to overcome obstacle, that is, to overcome the obstacle without significant change in speed. The gait laboratory is composed of 7 cameras, which capture all the patient's movements in 3D. The kinematic analysis of gait will be performed by filming the patient during the following activities: walking at normal speed, walking performing simple counts and overcoming obstacles while walking.;Postural balance is expected to improve assessed before and after the intervention by assessment performed in a gait laboratory, analyzing the following parameters: decrease in displacement and in anteroposterior and mediolateral amplitude of the center of mass, which means that the patient oscillated less. Patients will be evaluated with feet parallel and with one foot positioned in front of the other, in the condition of eyes open and eyes closed. | — |
