Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>In the static balance tasks the primary parameter is the vCOP and the RMS of<br /><br>the COP. In the challenging gait tasks the main parameter is the axial rotation<br /><br>of the different spinal segments in relation to each other and in relation to<br /><br>the pelvis.</p><br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>General information like gender, age, length, weight and menarche will be<br /><br>collected. The Cobb angle will be determined on X-rays. Furthermore, walking<br /><br>speed, stride length and joint angles will be calculated. Functional scores<br /><br>will be related to the Cobb angle.</p><br>
