DEVICE

PBT

Each subject will undergo 9 perturbation-based training sessions with safety harnesses, and the device will deliver waist pulls during treadmill walking. Training sessions will be individually customised. Perturbation intensity will be progressively increased by a physiotherapist according to the subject's abilities. Training sessions will last approximately 30 minutes, 2-3 times per week.
