Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| First Step Length (cm) Measurement: Distance (in cm) from the initial position to the first step after perturbation. Step Duration (seconds) Measurement: Time (in seconds) taken to complete the first reactive step after perturbation. Balance Recovery Distance (cm) Measurement: Distance (in cm) covered by the participant to regain balance after the first reactive step. Timepoint: Evaluated at baseline and post-intervention. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measure the number of steps taken and the first foot used during reactive stepping in both young and elderly populations. Compare the effects of structured voluntary step training versus conventional step training on step initiation patterns and stepping strategies.Timepoint: Throughout the study | — |
