Legend: ID = identification number; GMFCS = Gross Motor Function Classification System; TCMS = Trunk Control Measurement Scale; BWS = Bodyweight Support in % of bodyweight; Gait speed of the Lokomat treadmill in km/h; Offset for FreeD Time Offset in % of GC; GC = gait cycle; CP = cerebral palsy; ABI = acquired brain injury; MMC = meningomyelocele; no = not applicable (the GMFCS is not validated for diagnoses other than CP); P = Pediatric Lokomat orthosis; A = Adult Lokomat Orthosis; NA = not available (missing data); *= TCMS items 8, 9, 10 and 12 not tested due to spinal fusion T2-L5. SD = Standard Deviation.
