Exploratory gait variables.

Gait variable	Intervention group			Control group
	Baseline	Re-test	Change score	Baseline	Re-test	Change score
Stride length (cm)	110.4 (24.3)	117.56 (18.4)^a	7.15 (13.1)	120.8 (22.1)	121.3 (19.6)	0.50 (8.5)^b
Cadence (steps/min)	110.16 (11.2)	116.30 (10.0)^a	6.14 (7.7)	109.49 (11.6)	110.57 (11.73)	1.08 (6.2)^b
Double support time (percentage of cycle)	24.18 (4.7)	23.33 (3.7)	−0.85 (2.8)	24.08 (3.4)	23.41 (3.5)^a	−0.67 (1.6)
Variability of step length (coefficient of variability)	5.10 (2.2)	4.50 (2.4)	0.00 (2.4)	4.92 (3.8)	4.08 (3.2)	−0.32 (2.7)

All values are means (SDs), except those describing stride length which are medians (inter-quartile ranges).
^aA significant difference found within a group between baseline and re-testing.
^bA significant difference found between Control and Intervention groups.
