Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Center of pressure track (COPT)	Posturographic parameter; lower values indicate better postural stability	Baseline
Primary	Area of sway (AOS)	Posturographic parameter; lower values indicate better postural stability	Baseline
Primary	Core stability test of the Swiss Olympic Medical Center	Measurement of Core strength/Core stability in sec; higher values indicate better core strength	Baseline
Secondary	Baecke Questionnaire of Habitual Physical Activity (BQHPA)	Questionnaire of physical fitness; higher values indicate higher physical fitness	Baseline
Secondary	Stability energy	Posturographic parameter, measures economy of movement; higher values mean lower stabilty	Baseline
Secondary	Harmony index	Posturographic parameter	Baseline
Secondary	Frequency of sway	Posturographic parameter	Baseline
Secondary	Feedback	Posturographic parameter; quantitative data; a score is calculated by the posturographic system to determine the influence of visual, vestibular and somatosensory feedback on postural control	Baseline
Secondary	Movement control	Posturographic parameter; the frequencies of the movement amplitude during the posturographic measurement are calculated and a score for the low and high frequencies is presented. For the lower frequencies (F1, F2) higher values are positive. For the higher frequencies (F3 - F8) lower values are positive.	Baseline
Secondary	Weight distribution index	Posturographic parameter; Center of pressure at beginning of measurement	Baseline
Secondary	Body mass index (BMI)	Relation weight to height	Baseline
