Résumé
In this study, we investigated the effect of walker type on gait pattern characteristics comparing normal gait (NG), gait with a regular walker (RW), and gait with a newly developed walker with vertical moveable handlebars, the Crosswalker (CW). Partial weight bearing (PWB) of the feet, peak joint angles and largest Lyapunov exponent (λ
