Table 1.

Gait-assessment report by physiotherapists.

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
