Results for the JUMP and inactive CTRL for the gait test performed with maximal speed are displayed for the baseline measurements (BDC-14 and BDC-1) and the recovery phase (R+0, R+7, R+13, R+28 and R+90) after bed-rest. Values are normalized to BDC-1. Clustered by spatiotemporal parameter, gait variability and gait kinematics, the findings indicate significant differences for R+0 and R+7 compared to baseline. Values are means ± SE.
