Table 3.

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.
