- Walking speed. [ Time Frame: one day ]
Walking speed. This will be calculated from an exercise where participants will be asked to walk from one point to another of the room according to the instructions set out below.
The average speed of walking in technology assessment, will be directly collected by ANG.
A comparison of estimated speeds as standard and technology can then be performed.
- acceptance of the go-cart [ Time Frame: one day ]
- to assess the acceptance of ANG in the elderly. A questionnaire after the experiment will determine the level of acceptance of the go-cart, and to assess its ease of use.
- Develop mathematical algorithms to index certain characteristics of the market depending on the linear trajectory, U-turns. c) The detection of a weak joint. d) The index of walking on a path set will be made with and without use of the go-cart. e) Evaluate the ability of subjects to perform complex and precise trajectories
