- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Change in foot placement as a response to the perturbations. Foot placement can<br /><br>be determined by the exact position where the foot is placed with respect to<br /><br>the other foot. Because balance control in lateral direction is most important<br /><br>in human balance control the main study parameter will be the step width.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>• Standard gait parameters like step width, step time, swing time and stance<br /><br>time<br /><br>• Path of the CoP during single stance<br /><br>• Deviation of the CoM position and velocity changes of the CoM as a result of<br /><br>the perturbations<br /><br>• Muscle activation of arm and leg muscles as a result of the perturbations</p><br>
