Trial outcomes

Outcomes Assessments Objectives
Walking speed 2-min Walk Test [36] To estimate the overall effect of intervention on walking abilities
Gait parameters Spatiotemporal parameters (including symmetry) measured by the instrumented treadmills To measure participant’s gait in each training session for analyzing longitudinally the evolution of walking abilities
Balance Berg Balance Scale (BBS) [37] To estimate the effect of intervention on static balance
Fear of falling Questionnaire: adapted Falls Efficacy Scale (FES) [38] To assess the participant’s confidence in performing daily living activities that require balance control
Falls Falls Diary completed by the participant over the 3–4 months following discharge To measure effective fall rate at home
Perception of the intervention Ad-hoc questionnaire (tailor-made survey) To evaluate the patient’s subjective perception of the intervention
Quality of life Questionnaire: Short Form 36-item (SF-36) questionnaire [39] To obtain an overall survey of wellbeing and quality of life
