Primary outcomes

Vicon Motion Capture System

Time frame: Baseline

A total of 16 reflective signs will be placed on certain anatomical points of the participants. Gait analysis will be performed at a distance of 5 meters from the participants. The three-dimensional positions of the reflective marks will be recorded with the 8-camera Vicon motion capture system.
Blade Software System

Time frame: Baseline

Data obtained from Vicon motion capture system will be processed with Blade software. With the blade software, kinematic data will be obtained in the computer environment.
