Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Balance Training
Balance training will be conducted individually two times per week for 4 weeks. Each training session will include virtual reality tasks such as "ankle reaching" and "obstacle crossing" using a virtual obstacle shown on a computer screen. Each session will last 30 - 45 minutes.
