Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| From the COP time-series, recorded by the force plate, we will calculate several standard parameters that are often used to quantify postural regulation, using in-house software (MATLAB). We will derive measures related to: 1) the overall amount of sway, 2) the variability and consistency of the sway, 3) the frequency contents of the signal, and 4) the smoothness of the signal. For the three questionnaires we will calculate the total sum score of each measure. All statistical analyses will be performed using SPSS version 14.0. A mixed factors ANOVA will be used. The between-subject factor is group and the within-subject factor is condition. We will conduct a separate ANOVA for the static balance conditions (A1 to A4) and the dynamic balance conditions (B1 to B4). Level of significance will be set to p | — |
