Walking speed is one of the best measures of overall walking capacity. In plantar pressure measurements, walking speed can be assessed using contact time, but it is only moderately correlated with walking speed. The center of pressure might be of more value to indicate walking speed since walking speed …

Risk of falling is a major problem among the senior population and it results due to poor postural control. Studies have shown the benefit of virtual reality-based training in postural control and adaptation, since it can be used to manipulate visual information. The present study aims to investigate …
