•Tinetti score below maximal score.;History of previous or current neurological disorders of central origin, e.g. Parkinson, Multiple Sclerosis or Stroke.;Restricted movement of wrist and/or ankle preventing patient from delivering the required task performance, e.g. recent fractures of wrist and/or ankle.;Restricted vision preventing patient from delivering the required task performance.;Loss of sensibility of the foot preventing from delivering the required task performance.;Cognitive impairments (MMSE < 23), preventing the patient from understanding the instructions required for the task that has to be performed.
