What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Estimate the Limits of Agreement Between Observed and Commanded Treadmill Belt Disturbance Parameters: Belt Displacement.
Treadmill belt displacement (cm) will be measured with a Motion Capture system for each perturbation trial and compared to the commanded magnitude to assess system accuracy. Mean observed treadmill belt displacement, in centimeters, relative to commended treadmill belt displacement was calculated and the mean relative error (percentage) was reported. Percent Error = (Commanded Kinematic Value - Observed Kinematic Value)/Commanded Kinematic Value *100%. The mean value is then determined from the individual errors for each participant. This results in Mean Relative Error. Lower numbers are considered a better outcome (less error). A negative percentage indicates that the observed value is larger than the command value.
Measured: Duration of participant test session (approximately 2 hours)
Estimate the Limits of Agreement Between Observed and Commanded Treadmill Belt Disturbance Parameters: Peak Velocity.
Treadmill belt peak velocity (cm/s) will be measured with a Motion Capture system for each perturbation trial and compared to the commanded magnitude to assess system accuracy. Mean observed treadmill belt peak velocity, in centimeters/second, relative to commended treadmill belt peak velocity was calculated and the mean relative error (percentage) was reported. Percent Error = (Commanded Kinematic Value - Observed Kinematic Value)/Commanded Kinematic Value *100%. The mean value is then determined from the individual errors for each participant. This results in Mean Relative Error. Lower numbers are considered a better outcome (less error). A negative percentage indicates that the observed value is larger than the command value.
Measured: Duration of participant test session (approximately 2 hours)
Estimate the Limits of Agreement Between Observed and Commanded Treadmill Belt Disturbance Parameters: Average Initial Acceleration.
Treadmill belt average initial acceleration (cm/s/s) will be measured with a Motion Capture system for each perturbation trial and compared to the commanded magnitude to assess system accuracy. Mean observed treadmill belt average initial acceleration, in centimeters/second/second, relative to commended treadmill belt average initial acceleration was calculated and the mean relative error (percentage) was reported. Percent Error = (Commanded Kinematic Value - Observed Kinematic Value)/Commanded Kinematic Value *100%. The mean value is then determined from the individual errors for each participant. This results in Mean Relative Error. Lower numbers are considered a better outcome (less error). A negative percentage indicates that the observed value is larger than the command value.
Measured: Duration of participant test session (approximately 2 hours)

Time frame: Duration of participant test session (approximately 2 hours)
Treadmill belt displacement (cm) will be measured with a Motion Capture system for each perturbation trial and compared to the commanded magnitude to assess system accuracy. Mean observed treadmill belt displacement, in centimeters, relative to commended treadmill belt displacement was calculated and the mean relative error (percentage) was reported. Percent Error = (Commanded Kinematic Value - Observed Kinematic Value)/Commanded Kinematic Value *100%. The mean value is then determined from the individual errors for each participant. This results in Mean Relative Error. Lower numbers are considered a better outcome (less error). A negative percentage indicates that the observed value is larger than the command value.
