- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Coupling strength between pelvis and thorax in terms of (cross)correlations of<br /><br>the residual rotations. These correlations will be determined during<br /><br>unperturbed gait, gait while performing a dual task, perturbed gait and a<br /><br>combination of the latter two.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Step parameters; step frequency and step width<br /><br>Rotational amplitude of the trunk<br /><br>Trunk muscle activation</p><br>
