Between group difference in change per arm in gait domains (summary measures reported as standard deviation units) derived from factor analysis of quantitative gait variables collected on an instrumented walkway during normal walking and walking while talking. Based on previous findings of gait patterns, pace, rhythm and variation factors are defined (using z-scores based on mean and standard deviation at baseline). Higher values are indicative of better performance for pace and rhythm factors and indicative of worse performance for variation factors.
