The experiment was conducted to test the effectiveness of one’s ability to balance and walk on a 2x4 platform that is approximately 332cm or 11ft long, while blindfolded. It is known that vision impairment is associated with poor balance. We predicted that the subjects that were blindfolded will have poor balance and will not be able to walk very far on the 2x4 platform.
In this experiment we had a total of eight (8) test subjects. First we allowed 4 individuals to walk the 2x4 without a blindfold. While balancing we asked each test subject to do heel to toe while walking across. This prevents each person from taking enormously large steps across. By doing this we were able to control the amount of steps each person takes. We then conclude
