* = p < 0.05, OLG compared to OG; + = p < 0.05, OLG and OG compared to CG

(ROM: Range Of Motion; PT: Pelvic Tilt; PO: Pelvic Obliquity; HIC: Hip at IC; HFE: Hip Flex-Extension; HAA: Hip Ab-Adduction; KIC: Knee at IC; KFE: Knee Flex-Extension; AIC: Ankle at IC; ADP: Ankle Dorsi-Plantarflexion; AP: Ankle Power; HP: Hip Power; IC: Initial Contact; St: Stance; Sw: Swing; M and Max: maximum value; m and min: minimum value). Cohen effect Size d' is calculated to estimate the difference between OLG and OG.
