- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Frequency Response Functions (FRF) describe the dynamic relation between the disturbances and the human responses (ankle and hip angle and corresponding joint torques) in means of amplitude and timing.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method In addition a human balance control model is fit onto the experimentally derived FRF, to estimate parameters with a physiological meaning, for instance ankle and hip joint passive stiffness, reflexive properties and neural time delays.
