Questions and instructions

Question pretext

Now I am going to observe how you normally walk. If you use a cane or other walking aid and would be more
comfortable with it, then you may use it. This is the walking course. I want you to walk to the other end of the course at your usual speed, just as if you were walking down the street to go to the store. Walk all the way past the other end of the tape before you stop. I will walk with you.

Literal question

Did respondent complete the walk at usual pace?
