Investigating approach/avoidance tendencies in male AUD patients through a gait initiation task: An exploratory posturography study

Caption

During the first period, the participant had to remain still, maintaining a bipodal posture in front of the fixation cross. The initial position of the center of pressure was calculated. During the second period, a visual stimulus was presented. To characterize the postural response, the standard deviation of the center of pressure position was calculated for a period of 2 seconds. The third period began with the disappearance of the image corresponding to the starting signal to initiate a step (GO). The reaction time was determined when the position of the center of pressure deviated by plus or minus 2 standard deviations from the mean position.
