Summary

The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the feasibility of 1) providing virtual reality walking training using a custom developed setup able to be replicated in routine clinical practice and 2) combining the virtual reality training with high-intensity gait training.

Detailed description

This study will utilize a randomized-crossover design. Following confirmation of eligibility and completion of Baseline 1 testing, individuals will be randomized to receive up to 15 visits over approximately 5 weeks of either high or low intensity virtual reality gait training. Following which, individuals will undergo Post 1 testing to capture potential change in outcomes following the intervention. Participants will then take at least a 4-week break before returning to complete Baseline 2 testing and up 15 visits over 5 weeks of the alternative intervention before finally completing Post 2 testing.
