Table 1.

The table shows all spatiotemporal parameters of gait analyzed during the pre- and post- mechanical peripheral stimulation.

Type of Recorded Variable (Unit)	Measurement
Variability (s)	Standard deviation of stride duration.
Asymmetry (%)	Speed difference between right and left side.
Gait speed (m/s)	Ratio between the length and duration of the stride.
Stride length (m)	Distance between successive ground contacts of the same foot.
Cadence (step/min)	Number of steps per minute (stride frequency).
Stride duration (s)	Time elapsed between the first contact of two consecutive footsteps of the same foot.
Swing phase (%)	The swing phase is that part of the gait cycle during which the reference foot is not in contact with the ground and swings in the air. It constitutes about 40% of gait cycle.
Single support and Double support	Double support (2 times 10%); when only one is in the support phase. Single support (40%), the second then being in oscillating phase.
Pitch Contact (°)	Contact angle between the foot and the ground during the first step contact.
