Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Area of sway (AOS)	Baseline	Posturographic parameter; lower values indicate better postural stability
Center of pressure track (COPT)	Baseline	Posturographic parameter; lower values indicate better postural stability
Core stability test of the Swiss Olympic Medical Center	Baseline	Measurement of Core strength/Core stability in sec; higher values indicate better core strength

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Stability energy	Baseline	Posturographic parameter, measures economy of movement; higher values mean lower stabilty
Harmony index	Baseline	Posturographic parameter
Baecke Questionnaire of Habitual Physical Activity (BQHPA)	Baseline	Questionnaire of physical fitness; higher values indicate higher physical fitness
Frequency of sway	Baseline	Posturographic parameter
Movement control	Baseline	Posturographic parameter; the frequencies of the movement amplitude during the posturographic measurement are calculated and a score for the low and high frequencies is presented. For the lower frequencies (F1, F2) higher values are positive. For the higher frequencies (F3 - F8) lower values are positive.
Body mass index (BMI)	Baseline	Relation weight to height
Feedback	Baseline	Posturographic parameter; quantitative data; a score is calculated by the posturographic system to determine the influence of visual, vestibular and somatosensory feedback on postural control
Weight distribution index	Baseline	Posturographic parameter; Center of pressure at beginning of measurement
