| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Metabolic cost | Effort of participants' walking measured via metabolic cost, which is measured using an mask that measures the Oxygen and Carbon dioxide levels. | An average of 2 sessions in the span of 1 week |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Ground reaction force | Ground reaction forces will be measured via force plates on the ground. | An average of 2 sessions in the span of 1 week |
| Gait kinematics | Motion capture data will be collected using a validated system (e.g., Vicon, or similar motion capture software). Reflective markers will be placed on anatomical landmarks following a standard gait model. Kinematic measures, including joint angles (hip, knee, and ankle), step length, stride length, cadence, and walking speed, will be derived. |
