| Measure | Time frame |

| Recording of video markers attached to the feet will permit us to study stride variables such as step length and step width. We will also calculate the relative phase (mean and standard deviation) between rotations of thorax and pelvis in the tranversal and frontal plane. During the Stroop test teh latency of responding and accuracy will be manually scored. | — |
