主要结局
Dynamic Gait Index
时间窗: 2nd day
The Dynamic Gait Index tests the participant's ability to maintain balance while walking under different dynamic conditions and at the same time to react to different task requirements. An order scale with four points in the range from 0 to 3. "0" indicates the lowest functional level and "3" the highest functional level. The score of 19 predicts falls in the elderly and\> 22 out of 24 in safe ambulances falls is the dynamic gait index.Each object is marked at a scale of 0 to 3, 3 with standard and 0 showing led to problems DGI's 24 is the highest result possible
