Acute effects of alcohol on measures of walking performance.

The data were subjected to multivariate analyses of covariance. Complex changes in walking were detected--some transient--during the period of observation. Different measures were optimally sensitive in monitoring a straight walking task and a blindfolded complex walk. The consequent problems of validation and generalization are noted.enArticle
