Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find an improvement in gait parameters with the combination of automated mechanical peripheral stimulation and treadmill exercise, when compared to the application of automated peripheral stimulation and the treadmill in isolation. Gait parameters will be collected and analyzed before and after the intervention—

Secondary
