Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change in foot placement as a response to the perturbations. Foot placement can be determined by the exact position where the foot is placed with respect to the other foot. Because balance control in lateral direction is most important in human balance control the main study parameter will be the step width. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| • Standard gait parameters like step width, step time, swing time and stance time • Path of the CoP during single stance • Deviation of the CoM position and velocity changes of the CoM as a result of the perturbations • Muscle activation of arm and leg muscles as a result of the perturbations | — |
