Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Energy expenditure (EE)	2 weeks after baseline	EE(kcal/min): energy expenditure per minute

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
deoxygenated hemoglobin (DeoxyHb)	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration of cortical activation
Lower extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	Fugl-Meyer Assessment uses to examine the motor function and coordination of affected lower extremity. It includes 17 items of a 3-point ordinal scale, ranging 0-34, with higher scores indicating lower impairment.
Heart rate (HR)	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	Cardiac frequency
Respiratory Quotient (R)	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	Respiratory quotient
Energy expenditure (EE)	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	EE(kcal/min): energy expenditure per minute
Volume of Oxygen (VO2)	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	O2 consumption/1min
oxygenated hemoglobin (OxyHb)	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	oxygenated hemoglobin concentration of cortical activation
Metabolic equivalent (METS)	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	the amount of oxygen consumed while sitting at rest and is equal to 3.5 ml O2 per kg body weight x min
10m walk test	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	10m walk test is used to examine gait speed, in which participant was asked to walk on a 14 meter of walkway wearing harness with two conditions; with the fastest speed or with self-selected comfortable speed.
Functional Ambulation Category	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	Functional Ambulation Category is used to assess gait ability with 6 levels ranging from 0 to 5 on the basis of the amount of physical support required, regardless of use of an assistive device
timed up and go test	baseline, 1 weeks after baseline, 2 weeks after baseline, 3 weeks after baseline	simple test used to assess a person's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance
