Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- user satisfaction [4 weeks]
self-developed questionnaire based evaluation of user satisfaction
- walking distance [4 weeks]
pain free and maximal walking distance are recorded using the Gardner treadmill protocol.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Physical activity [2 months]
Physical activity, defined total active energy expenditure (kcal) is obtained from objective measurement of physical activity during 7 consecutive days using the Sensewear device.
