SD: Standard Deviations, min: Minute, s: Second, m: Meter, Analysis Duration (s): Duration of the whole trial, Cadence (steps/min): Number of steps in a min, Speed (m/s): Average walking speed, Gait cycle duration (s): Average value of the time interval between two consecutive heel strikes of the same foot, Stride length (m): Average value of distances between each initial contact and the next one of the same side, % Stride length (%height): Stride length normalized over the height of the subject, Step length (% str. length): Average value of distances between each initial contact and the next one of the contralateral side, Stance phase (% cycle): average value of the duration of the right and left foot support phase as percentage of the gait cycle, Swing phase (% cycle): Average value of the duration of the right and left swing phase as percentage of the gait cycle, Double support phase (% cycle): Average value of the duration of the phase in which both feet are in stance position as percentage of the gait cycle, Single support phase (% cycle): Average value of the duration of the phase in which only one foot is in stance position as percentage of the gait cycle, Elaborated steps: Number of strides considered in the analysis.
