- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main outcome variables are the frequency response function (feet-in-place test), leg angle at stepping foot contact (stepping test) and foot placement error (step adjustment test).
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary outcomes of the feet-in-place test are values for the parameters describing the physics of human balance control. The most important parameters are passive muscle stiffness and damping, reflexive muscle stiffness and damping and time delay. For the stepping test, the secondary outcome variables are step onset, step duration, step length and step velocity. For the step adjustment test, the secondary outcome variables are onset latencies of stepping adjustments and average speed of adjustments. Furthermore, clinical tests (10 meter walking test and mini-BEST test) and activity levels will be evaluated.
