Primary outcomes
- Mean Change From Baseline in Ambulation Using the 6 Minute Walk Distance — Baseline to 6 months
During this assessment, participants were asked to walk as far as they could back and forth on a fixed 20 meter route for 6 minutes. The total distance walked during the 6 minutes was recorded in meters. Change from baseline was defined as the difference between the average 6 minute walk distance at baseline and the average 6 minute walk distance at 6 months.
