Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
on-linear measures of walking including the Lyapunov exponent and Floquet multipliers calculating local and orbital stability. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: Lyapunov exponent formula: y(i)= 1/?t<Ln?? d_j (i)?> Floquet multipliers formula: S_(k+1 )=F(S_k ).;User experience (UX) evaluated by applying the AttarkDiff questionnaire. Timepoint: All participants in the study will be measured before the start of the study, after the intervention (3 weeks later), and 2 months after the treatment. Method of measurement: User experience (UX) evaluated by applying the AttarkDiff questionnaire.
