Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected to verify that the gait variables analyzed in treadmill and soil are similar. For that will be used two video cameras that will enable the analysis of width and step length of the participants while walking on the soil (5 turns on the oval circuit) and the treadmill (walking for 30 minutes in preference speed). The images captured by the cameras are analyzed by a computer program, and the significance level for the desired outcome is achieved is p > 0.05, meaning that the width and step length values on the treadmill and soil are similar. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| During the 30 minutes that participants walk on the treadmill, the variables length and step width will be analyzed every five minutes to check for linearity values. Also will be added the calculation of step length variability, because this details the step length measures and is an important measure of flaws in the neural mechanisms of motion control. It is expected that a linearity is observed in the values of the variables during the course of the analyzed minutes on the treadmill. | — |
