6MWT, 6-Minute Walk Test; m, meter; s, second; SA, SmartAssist.
* Calculated as:
†Calculated as:
‡The lowest percentage of SmartAssist (SA) achieved, where SA is a function of total motor contribution toward walking. The device used was capable of unilateral control, however this was not differentiated, and the percentage reported is solely the lowest level of assistance required.
