AIDS, SKIN ERYTHEMA
No participants experienced a fall during the study, yet two IG participants suffered mild skin erythema in the tibia contact zone during the first session that was related to the strap. This issue was resolved by adding padding to the specific zones and the lesions disappeared within one day. In addition, mild neck and shoulder muscle pain was reported 24 h after the training session in 6 IG patients, which was probably related to the use of walking aids. Concerning the pain and fatigue perceived after each IG session, the participants rated the pain as 1.8 (SD 1.0) cm and the fatigue as 3.8 (SD1.7) cm in a VAS (0–10 cm).
