Rise time | Mean value of the required time to reach the maximum angular velocity | Toosizadeh et al., 2015b |
Moment | Mean value of maximum moments on elbow within each flexion/extension estimated from moment of inertia of forearm and hand, and elbow motion | Toosizadeh et al., 2015b |
Speed reduction | Difference in angular velocity range between the last and the first 5 s of elbow flexion as a percentage of the initial angular velocity range | Toosizadeh et al., 2015b |
Speed variability | CoV of the angular velocity range during 20 s | Toosizadeh et al., 2015b |

Gait Parameters | ||
Stride velocity | Average of gait speed (horizontal distance traveled divided by duration of walking) among strides | Aminian et al., 2002 |
Stride time | Time interval starts when one foot makes contact with the ground and ends when that same foot contacts the ground again | Aminian et al., 2002 |
Stride length | Distance traveled by the same limb between two successive heel contacts | Aminian et al., 2002 |
Double support | Duration of the initial and terminal double support when both feet are in contact with the ground as a percentage of the stride time | Aminian et al., 2002 |
Gait variability | CoV of gait speed among strides | Aminian et al., 2002 |
A reference for calculation procedure is presented for each parameter. CoV, coefficient of variation (standard deviation divided by the mean).
