No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Deterioration in walking performance as a result of disease or simply as a result of aging is a serious threat to independence in older adults. In this project, the investigators propose an innovative visual stimulus, based on advanced mathematical and biological theories, with which older adults can walk in time to improve their walking. The investigators' goal is to apply this simple, cost-effective, and novel gait rehabilitation therapy across all populations who have difficulties walking, e.g. stroke patients, fallers or those who undergo joint replacement.
