Temporal and spatial parameters of gait of both the individuals with CFS and control group. Temporal and spatial parameters of gait of both the individuals with CFS and control subjects at self selected pace, at the slower matched velocity and at faster matched velocity. R = Right side of the body and L = left side of the body. NS represents a non significant result from the MANOVA, reported P values are those calculated from resulting paired t-tests between individuals with CFS and controls. |
