Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Jerk (Derivative of the acceleration of the mass center as marker oscillation of the control the center of mass)
The jerk is measure with a instrumented stance testing. For this test, we use small wireless inertial sensors (OPAL sensor, APDM, Inc. Portland, OR). This outcome is recorded automatically generated using Mobility Lab Software (APDM Inc., Portland, OR).

Study Arms (1)
Body Weight Support
EXPERIMENTALTreatment protocol consisted of 18 training sessions on the BWST, three times a week, every session included three sets of six minutes of locomotion with rest intervals of 2 min of rest.
