Walking We applied the WISCI to assess which kind
of assistive devices or personal assistance the participants
needed to cover 10 m.
To test the participants’ ability to adapt their gait to
several circumstances, we applied the Figure Eight Test
(FET), which was previously described in more detail
and shown to be valid. The test required participants
to traverse a 10 m long figure of eight-shaped track 6
times, each time under a different condition, including:
– FET preferred: at preferred walking speed.
– FET maximal: at maximal safe walking speed.
– FET vision: subjects wore vision-blurring glasses.
