Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Mirror Therapy

Participants view the reflective side of a simple mirror which is placed in their mid-sagittal plane to view a mirror reflection of their non-affected limb for 30 mins per day, 3 days per week, for four weeks.

DEVICE

Placebo Mirror Therapy

Placebo Mirror Therapy: Participants view the reflective side of a simple mirror which is placed forward/ahead of them in their mid-sagittal plane, and thus cannot see a reflection of either lower limb as their leg does not pass in front of the mirror for 30 mins per day, 3 days per week, for four weeks. Treadmill Training: Participants will walk on a treadmill at their comfortable walking speed for 30 mins per day, 3 days per week, for four weeks.

DEVICE

Treadmill

Participants will walk on a treadmill at their comfortable walking speed for 30 mins per day, 3 days per week, for four weeks.
