Effects of Visual Deprivation on Gait Dynamic Stability

Table 1

Mean ± standard deviation of gait spatio-temporal parameters in full (FV) versus no vision (NV) condition, and the P values of the effects of vision (V), environment (E), gender (G), and all their possible interactions on step length (SL), step frequency (SF), walking speed (WS), walked distance (WD), and walked time (Time).
