Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Primary outcomes will be gait adaptability as measured with the Emory Function<br /><br>Ambulation Profile (E-FAP), stepping performance as measured with the<br /><br>Timed-Up-And-Go test (TUG) and dynamic balance as measured with the Margin of<br /><br>Stability (MoS).</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Concerning gait adaptability:<br /><br>- Walking Adaptability Ladder Test (WALT)<br /><br>- Modified Dynamic Gait Index (mDIG)<br /><br><br /><br>Concerning dynamic balance:<br /><br>- Lyapunov exponent<br /><br>- Foot placement estimator<br /><br>- Distance between extrapolated center of mass (XCoM) and center of pressure<br /><br>(CoP) in anterior-posterior (AP) and medio-lateral (ML) direction<br /><br>- Center of mass (CoM) - center of pressure (CoP) inclination angles<br /><br>- Step width variability<br /><br>- Step time variability<br /><br>- Activities-specific Balance Confidence Scale (ABC Scale)<br /><br><br /><br>Concerning stepping performance:<br /><br>- Spatiotemporal gait parameters<br /><br>- Hip-knee-ankle-foot kinematics<br /><br>- Peak ankle moment<br /><br>- Peak ankle power<br /><br>- Mini-BESTest<br /><br><br /><br>Other<br /><br>- Activity during the training sessions<br /><br>- Logbook training sessions</p><br>
