Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this research is to determine if real time visual feedback of body movements improves balance control more than walking on a treadmill alone. Individuals participating in this research study will be tested using a battery of clinical strength and balance assessments twice before a 4 week training period and once after the training period. The 4 week training period will consist of 12 sessions walking on a treadmill. The experimental group will see real time visual feedback regarding their body movements, and the control group will not receive this visual feedback. Following the 4 week training each participant will again be tested using the battery of clinical strength and balance assessments.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Walking & Visual Feedback

Individuals in this arm will walk on a treadmill while viewing real time visual feedback regarding their body motions and use the visual feedback to correct their body motions.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Treadmill Walking

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Individuals will walk at a "comfortable speed" on a treadmill without holding on to the hand rails.

Visual Feedback

Intervention Type OTHER

Real time feedback regarding body motion while walking.

Walking & No Visual Feedback

Individuals in this arm will walk on a treadmill without viewing real time visual feedback regarding their body motion.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Treadmill Walking
