| scooting | Device | three-wheeled scooter (Monark 662, Monark Exercise AB Sweden) comprised of a single front wheel that provides steering and two rear wheels that create a wide base of support. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| slope of the relationship between self-reported breathing and leg heaviness using Borg scale | Borg scale ratings of breathing and leg heaviness will be measured during stepwise incremental speed exercise tests. The relationship between leg and breathing heaviness with increasing demand (speed) is quantified by the slope of the relationship between self-reported breathing and leg heaviness under each condition of customary walking and scooting. | 1 week |
