- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to find improvement in walking, verified by means of an accelerometer positioned on the fifth lumbar vertebra, from the observation of the increase in walking speed in the post-intervention moments.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method It is expected to find a decrease in the activity of the prefrontal cortex during walking, verified by the functional near-infrared spectroscopy, from the observation of the reduction in the concentration of oxyhemoglobin in the post-intervention moments.
