•b) a pre-existing neurological or orthopaedic condition that affects lower limb strength (e.g.: polio, stroke);
•c) Any of the following foot conditions: partial foot amputation or ulceration or food fractures;
•d) Any musculoskeletal conditions that may affect the ambulation (rheumatoid arthritis, gout, etc).
•Participants with any documented medical condition or physical impairment that is judged by the medical practitioner to contraindicate their inclusion will be excluded.
•Older people with some medical history but controlled conditions will not need medical clearance to participate in this study.
•Participants with heart problems will be required to get a medical clearance for their GP in order to participate in this study.
