الوصف: Background: The availability of instrumented treadmills that can apply unexpected perturbations during walking has made gait perturbation training more popular in clinical practice. To quantify and monitor balance recovery while training, easy to use measures are needed and may be based on integrated force plate data. Therefore, we aimed to quantify and evaluate different implementations of the recovery performance measure based on center of pressure data.Methods: Recovery performance was calculated based on differences in center of pressure trajectories between unperturbed walking and balance recovery after a perturbation. Five methodological choices leading to 36 different implementations were evaluated. Test-retest reliability, effect sizes, and concurrent validity were evaluated against trunk velocity measures.Results: Differences in measures of (dis-)similarity, time normalization and reference data affected reliability, sensitivity and validity and none of the performance measure implementations based on center of pressure trajectories was superior on all criteria. Measures assessing perturbation effects on trunk velocities provided more reliable and sensitive recovery outcomes.Discussion: Different implementations of the recovery performance measure can be chosen dependent on constraints imposed in the clinical setting.Conclusion: Quantifying recovery performance based on center of pressure data is possible and may be suitable to monitor improvement in recovery performance after gait perturbations in specific clinical setups. Validity of performance measures in general requires further attention.
