Variables considered in the study.
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Spatio-temporal Variables Dimensions that are based on whole-body movement |
Step length [cm] | Distance between the centres of both ankle joints in the sagittal plane at T1. |
| Step width [cm] | Distance between the centres of both ankle joints in the frontal plane at T1. | |
| Single support [%] | Percentage of mono-pedal support during the stride time. Percentage of T2 to T4 time with respect to the entire stride time. | |
| Double support [%] | Percentage of bipedal support during the stride time. Percentage of T1 to T2 time and T4 to T5 with respect to the entire stride time. | |
| Gait speed [cm/s] | Mean of the gait speed during the stride. Stride length divided by stride time. | |
|
Kinematic Variables [°] Dimensions that are based on the movement of each body segment |
Range of the trunk tilt. T2 to T5 | Chest rotation around the Z-axis with regard to the pelvic bone. Range from T2 to T5. |
| Range of the pelvic tilt. T1 to T4 | Pelvic bone rotation around the Z-axis. Range from T1 to T4. | |
| Range of the hip flexion/extension. T1 to T4 | Hip joint rotation around the X-axis. Range from T1 to T4. | |
| Range of the hip adduction/abduction. T4 to T5 | Hip joint rotation around the Z-axis. Range from T4 to T5. | |
| Range of the knee flexion/extension. T4 to T5 | Knee joint rotation around the X-axis. Range from T4 to T5. | |
| Range of the ankle dorsi/plantar flexion. T4 to T5 | Ankle joint rotation around the X-axis. Range from T4 to T5. | |
| Range of the ankle inversion/eversion. T1 to T3 | Ankle joint rotation around the Z-axis. Range from T1 to T3. |
