| Timing and Coordination | Behavioral | This intervention is based on progressively difficult stepping and walking patterns that promote the timing and coordination of stepping within the gait cycle. Small-group 60-minute classes twice weekly for 12 weeks. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| energy cost of walking | assessed by oxygen consumption during treadmill and overground walking | 12 weeks |
| fatigue and fatigability | assessed by questionnaire, rated perceived exertion during walking, and decrements in walking performance over time. | 12 weeks |
| daily activity | assessed by accelerometry and the Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly | 12 weeks |
| life-space mobility | assessed by life-space mobility questionnaire | 12 weeks |
| endurance | assessed by the long-distance corridor walk | 12 weeks |
| physical function | assessed by standing balance, gait speed, and chair stands | 12 weeks |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| energy cost of walking | assessed by oxygen consumption during treadmill and overground walking | 24 weeks |
| fatigue and fatigability | assessed by questionnaire, rated perceived exertion during walking, and decrements in walking performance over time |
