The question we plan to answer is how the body compensates when walking on a balance beam versus walking on a line of tape that is of equal width on the ground. We feel this is interesting because we are all interested in rehabilitation and would like to know what skills/movements are necessary for a person to walk on a different ground level (e.g. balance beam). For example, what types of injuries may we come across that might prevent someone from being able to balance themselves?
