Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Postural sway using Posturography - Sway velocities in the mediolateral and in the anteroposterior directions will be calculated in mm/sec, and - Velocity moment will be calculated in mm²/sec Timepoint: 4 time points: Without weight on ankle for 30 seconds With 0.5 kg weight on ankle for 30 seconds With 1 kg weight on ankle for 30 seconds With 2 kg weight on ankle for 30 seconds | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1.Weight symmetry using Posturography 2.Muscle activation using wireless EMG - RMS of the electromyographic signal in mV will be calculated Timepoint: 4 time points: Without weight on ankle for 30 seconds With 0.5 kg weight on ankle for 30 seconds With 1 kg weight on ankle for 30 seconds With 2 kg weight on ankle for 30 seconds | — |
