Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Speed, assessed by GAITRite system.[measurement throughout each 60 second test condition.];Cadence, assessed by GAITRite system.[measurement throughout each 60 second test condition.];stride length, assessed by GAITRite system.[measurement throughout each 60 second test condition.]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
brain activities in prefrontal cortex, premotor cortex, supplementary motor cortex assessed by functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). (composite )[continuous measurement throughout about 20 minute test condition];stride time, assessed by GAITRite system.[measurement throughout each 60 second test condition.];dual task cost = (dual-task walking speed – single-task walking speed)/single-task walking speed * 100%. And the dual task cost was assessed by GAITRite system.[measurement throughout each 60 second test condition.];Temporal asymmetry ratio = absolute value[1-(single support time (affected))/(single support time (unaffected))]. And the Temporal asymmetry ratio was assessed by GAITRite system.[measurement throughout each 60 second test condition.];Spatial asymmetry ratio = absolute value[1-(step length (affected))/(step length (unaffected))]. And the Spatial asymmetry ratio was assessed by GAITRite system.[measurement throughout each 60 second test condition.]
