Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>Age-related differences in postural control:<br /><br>- Response types: in-place response or stepping response; single step,<br /><br>multiple steps and *fall*<br /><br>- Balance recovery in terms of bodily displacement: step length, step width,<br /><br>presence of an APA (anticipatory postural adjustment), COM displacement, COP<br /><br>displacement and accelerations.<br /><br>- Balance recovery in terms of reaction times: onset latency (time to initial<br /><br>response), time to foot-off, time to foot-contact </p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>-Clinical Balance test: The Narrow Ridge Balance Test (NRBT) to assess balance<br /><br>performance in elderly.<br /><br>-The adapted Dutch version of the Incidental and Planned Exercise Questionnaire<br /><br>(IPEQ) for older people to measure average weekly physical activity over the<br /><br>past 3 months of the elderly. </p><br>
