Name	Time	Method
<p>Recording of video markers attached to the feet will permit us to study stride<br /><br>variables such as step length and step width. We will also calculate the<br /><br>relative phase (mean and standard deviation) between rotations of thorax and<br /><br>pelvis in the tranversal and frontal plane.<br /><br>During the Stroop test teh latency of responding and accuracy will be manually<br /><br>scored.</p><br>
