Table 1.
Phase | Participant (RK) movement | Observations |
Prebaseline | RK mobilized 10 meters six times without wearing the haptic device. | Reduced hip flexion and no heel strike on stance phase Reduced hip and knee flexion during midswing Reduced toe-off Difficulty with turnings |
Baseline | RK mobilized 10 meters six times while wearing the device that was not switched on. | Reduced hip flexion and no heel strike on stance phase Reduced hip and knee flexion during midswing Reduced toe-off Difficulty with turnings |
With cues | RK mobilized 10 meters six times while wearing the device that was switched on. | Increased hip flexion and has a slight heel strike on stance Increased knee flexion during midswing Increased hip flexion, knee flexion, and toe-off, which help her clear the ground |
After cues | RK mobilized 10 meters four times while wearing the device that was switched off to observe whether she was able to remember the rhythm. | Retains changes from previous trial Cannot fully comment on this, as this requires several trials to ascertain her ability to remember the sensation from the device by observing it through her gait pattern |
