Registered outcomes9
Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Habitual Walking Speed (m/s) | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | Average preferred walking speed during a 10-meter walk |
| Primary | 6-min Walk Test Distance (m) | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | Maximum distance walked in 6 minutes |
| Primary | Walking Stride Length (m) | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | Average stride length during walking at habitual speed |
| Primary | Calf Muscle Size (cm) | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | Average plantarflexor cross-sectional area will be computed using ultrasound |
| Primary | Calf muscle strength (N/kg) | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | Maximum strength of the plantarflexor muscles measured using a dynamometer |
| Primary | Calf muscle excitation | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | The magnitude of habitual plantar flexor muscle activation during walking will be computed using recording electrodes (i.e., electromyography) |
| Secondary | Peak ankle power output (W/kg) | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | Quantitative motion capture and inverse dynamics will compute the peak net ankle power output extracted from the push-off phase of walking. |
| Other | Walking Economy (W/kg) | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | Net metabolic power estimated via expired gases during walking |
| Other | Muscle coordination | Baseline, Week 7, Week 19 | The investigators will compute changes in the relative weighting of activation of the major plantarflexor muscles compared to more proximal leg muscles. |
