Baseline and post-training kinematic measurements, as well as the feedback training were performed on a treadmill with a constant velocity. Significant improvements were seen in step length (trained: 590.7 mm to 611.1 mm, 95%CI [7.609, 24.373]; untrained: 591.1 mm to 628.7 mm, 95%CI [10.698, 30.835]), toe clearance (trained: 13.9 mm to 16.5 mm, 95%CI [1.284, 3.503]; untrained: 11.8 mm to 13.7 mm, 95%CI [1.763, 3.612]), ankle dorsiflexion angle at terminal stance (trained: 8.3 deg to 10.5 deg, 95%CI [1.092, 3.319]; untrained: 9.2 deg to 12.0 deg, 95%CI [1.676, 3.573]), hip flexion angular velocity, (trained: \u2212126.5 deg\/s to \u2212131.0 deg\/s, 95%CI [\u22129.054, \u22122.623]; untrained: \u2212130.2 deg\/s to \u2212135.3 deg\/s, 95%CI [\u221210.536, \u22121.675]), ankle angular velocity at terminal stance (trained: \u2212344.7 deg\/s to \u2212359.1 deg\/s, 95%CI [\u221247.540, \u221214.924]; untrained: \u2212340.3 deg\/s to \u2212376.9 deg\/s, 95%CI [\u221237.280, \u221213.166s]), and gastrocnemius EMG activity (trained: 0.60 to 0.66, 95%CI [0.014, 0.258]; untrained: 0.55 to 0.65, 95%CI [0.049, 0.214]).
