Question pretext
Normal walk:

Now I am going to observe how your normally walk. If you use a cane or other walking aid and would be more comfortable with it, then you may use it. I want you to walk to the other end of the walking 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.
