Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Crossectional as inventory of population and validation of the VR system with known questionnaires Dates of stability from the VR system (STABLE) and data from validated questionnaires and tests regarding balance and stability. The parameters that will be measured are: 1) the time that it takes to complete a required training task 2) the number of times that a subject has to apply a stepping out strategy to restore balance 3) variation of the centre of pressure during quiet stance and task performance. Diminishment of 1), 2) and 3) will be assumed to be beneficial and as such an improvement of balance. Endpoints will be defined after each training session and at the end of the training period. The endpoint will be reached after 12 weeks. Two training sessions each week for 30 minutes.	—
