Replication Data for: Accuracy-speed-stability trade-offs in a targeted stepping task are similar in young and older adults
Description
Data set of 25 young and 25 older adults performed a target stepping task. In this study we aimed to test whether accuracy-speed-stability trade-offs are larger in older compared to young individuals. Since sensorimotor function degrades with age, we hypothesized that poor sensorimotor function would be associated with larger accuracy-speed-stability trade-offs. The dataset contains marker and force plate data from subjects performing a stepping task in which they stepped into projected targets starting from quiet standing. Additionally, we quantified sensorimotor function by measuring motor variability using a torque matching task on the Biodex, proprioception using a joint position matching task, and reliance on sensory information during standing using the Sensory Organization Test on the NeuroCom balance master.
