3 Fig 2 Outdoor and indoor circuits. The solid lines indicate the path the participant has to follow, the dotted lines indicate handrails, and the black dots indicate cones the patient had to avoid hitting in order to complete the circuit successfully. The hatched areas indicate slopes.

4 Fig 3 Times needed to complete the (A) indoor and (B) outdoor circuits during the first and second rounds with the TopChair (solid gray bars) and the Storm3 (speckled bars). The box plot indicates mean values, quartiles and 5th and 95th. Both the round and the device exerted significant effects during the indoor trial (ANOVA; round effect, P<.001; device effect, P<.05; interaction, P=.17) and the outdoor trial (ANOVA; round effect, P<.001; device effect, P<.05; interaction, P=.17).

5 Fig 4 Scores on each item of the QUEST instrument with the TopChair (solid gray boxes) and Storm3 (speckled boxes). Boxplots showing the 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles. *Significant differences between the TopChair and Storm3 (Wilcoxon, P=.05).
