Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of training with the Gait Enhancing and Motivating System-Hip (GEMS-H) vs. training without the GEMS-H on locomotor function in adults. The investigator hypothesizes that long-term GEMS-H use would improve locomotor function. Specifically, individuals in the GEMS-H group will show faster gait speed compared to those in the control group.

Interventions

DEVICE

with Gait Enhancing and Motivating System-Hip (GEMS-H)

The intensity of training: between 12 and 16 in borg's rating of perceived exertion scale. Assessments consist of gait function, cardiopulmonary metabolic energy cost, physical performance, balance, physical level, pain, fall efficacy, depression, quality of life and activities of daily living.

OTHER

without Gait Enhancing and Motivating System-Hip (GEMS-H)

The intensity of training: between 12 and 16 in borg's rating of perceived exertion scale.
