Original description

Intervention: Group 1: Patients: vision-based motion analysis: TUG under three conditions: 1. preferred gait speed 2. Dual-tasking condition (counting backwards) 3. As fast as they can walk safely We test each trial twice. Handtapping: Motor Task with the Hand, where the patient have to tap alternatively onto two predefined spots with one hand. The patient/control is sitting, with two small platforms in front of them. They have to tap as fast as they can for 20 seconds. We test each side twice. Posturography For perturbed stance, the platform will be moved by rotation (±0.5° - ±1°) and translation (±0.8 cm - ±1.6 cm). For collecting data, ground reaction forces will be recorded with a force plate and body sway of lower and upper body with vision-based motion analysis.
