Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Crossectional as inventory of population and validation of the VR system with<br /><br>known questionnaires<br /><br>Dates of stability from the VR system (STABLE) and data from validated<br /><br>questionnaires and tests regarding balance and stability.<br /><br><br /><br>The parameters that will be measured are:<br /><br>1) the time that it takes to complete a required training task<br /><br>2) the number of times that a subject has to apply a stepping out strategy to<br /><br>restore balance<br /><br>3) variation of the centre of pressure during quiet stance and task<br /><br>performance.<br /><br>Diminishment of 1), 2) and 3) will be assumed to be beneficial and as such an<br /><br>improvement of balance. Endpoints will be defined after each training session<br /><br>and at the end of the training period.<br /><br><br /><br>The endpoint will be reached after 12 weeks. Two training sessions each week<br /><br>for 30 minutes.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Part I<br /><br>Crossectional research: identification of patients with an extreme score on<br /><br>questionnaire and tests, and associate it with the VR output variables<br /><br><br /><br>Part II<br /><br>Secondary study parameters/endpoints<br /><br>Berg Balance Scale, Short Physical Performance battery, Falls efficacy scale.<br /><br>Handgrip strength. Will be performed at baseline and at the end of the training<br /><br>period. </p><br>
