Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Tactile discrimination: Minimum distance (in mm) detected between two points using Disk- criminator; minimum thickness (in mm) of Semmes Weinstein monofilaments detected in the same dermatome, between pre and post evaluation and retention.;Proprioception: angular variation (in degrees) of each segment in relation to the desired positioning (sense of position); number of correct movement directions (sense of movement), between pre and post evaluation and retention, with the Angles video goniometer tool.;Postural stability: anteroposterior, lateral-lateral displacement, velocity of postural oscillation, area of ??postural oscillation, and oscillation of center of pressure (area per second), between pre and post evaluation and retention, through the force platform.;Gait parameters: gait speed (s), duration of support phase and balance (in percentage of cycle), between pre and post evaluation and retention as seen by G-walk. | — |
