Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Step length symmetry

Time Frame: Participants will be followed for the duration of treadmill gait, an expected average of 15 minutes

Step length symmetry during treadmill gait. When the participants walk on the treadmill, the walk symmetry was calculated from the sensor attached to them. During the whole period of treadmill gait, step length asymmetry will be recorded.
