Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Motor learning constituting motor performance and strides to steady-state motor performance. <br>Motor performance will be measured based on step length symmetry during specified time periods during the adaptation and de-adaptation phases. <br>The strides to steady-state motor performance will be determined by the number of strides taken to achieve steady-state performance where the respective stride remains within the mean ± 2 standard deviations of the last 100 strides for 30 strides.[Follow-up one week later]
