Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Virtual Reality Based Exercise

A structured, individually tailored, protocol driven, reproducible therapeutic intervention. The study intervention will consist of individually prescribed selections from three off-the-shelf VR games that target the type and severity of balance deficits elicited during the completion of a baseline assessment. Participants randomized to receive this intervention will be assigned a home balance program that utilizes an Xbox Kinect system to provide balance activities.

BEHAVIORAL

Standard Exercise

An individualized home balance exercise program that also targets identified balance system-specific deficits, however, utilizes no VR components.
