Eligibility

Age

18 Years to 99 Years

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Age: 35-75 years old - Able to walk independently indoors for 4 minutes (minimal FAC 3) - Maximum score on Berg Balance Scale of 50 (for patientgroup)

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - cognitive or communicative disorders that can affect the protocol (Mini Mental State Examination * 24), - visual impairments that can affect the protocol - attention impairments that can affect the protocol - severe cardiovascular diseases that contra indicate moderately intense exercise - other co-morbidities that could affect balance control or energy expenditure during walking - medication that could interfere with balance control or energy expenditure during walking.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Main outcome: Energy costs (J/kg/m)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
In all conditions parameters of gait will be calculated as: walking speed (m/s), cadence (stride/s), stride length (m), step width (m) and symmetry (paretic stance phase (s) * non-paratic stance phase (s)). In the Ps and Pns condition the performance on the pattern walking task will be quantified as the error in foot placement, which will be measured as the amount of variation of the position of Center of Pressure with respect to the projected foot prints	—
