The goal of this research is to determine if real time visual feedback of body movements improves balance control more than walking on a treadmill alone. Individuals participating in this research study will be tested using a battery of clinical strength and balance assessments twice before a 4 week training period and once after the training period. The 4 week training period will consist of 12 sessions walking on a treadmill. The experimental group will see real time visual feedback regarding their body movements, and the control group will not receive this visual feedback. Following the 4 week training each participant will again be tested using the battery of clinical strength and balance assessments.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Walking & Visual Feedback | Experimental | Individuals in this arm will walk on a treadmill while viewing real time visual feedback regarding their body motions and use the visual feedback to correct their body motions. |
|
| Walking & No Visual Feedback | Active Comparator | Individuals in this arm will walk on a treadmill without viewing real time visual feedback regarding their body motion. |
