Experimental Treatment

Group I: Gait retrainingExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Eight weeks of active-feedback gait retraining. The gait retraining device measures pressure/force under the lateral side of the foot and activates vibration if loading crosses a set threshold. The location of the vibration is customized for each subject to achieve maximal sensitivity.
