In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This is a single-blinded study. The participants will be equally randomized to either the reactive balance training with augmented reality (RBT+AR) group or the control (treadmill walking) group. Changes in postural stability, functional mobility/strength, balance performance, quality of life, balance confidence, muscle activation, and executive function following RBT+AR compared to treadmill walking only will be investigated.
