The aim of the present study is to evaluate an innovative virtual reality-based balance training intervention for improving clinically relevant motor performances (balance and gait) in cancer patients.
The investigators hypothesize that the virtual reality-based balance training intervention will improve balance and gait performances in cancer patients compared to a control group receiving usual care only.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance Training | Experimental | Balance training will be conducted individually two times per week for 4 weeks. Each training session will include virtual reality tasks such as "ankle reaching" and "obstacle crossing" using a virtual obstacle shown on a computer screen. Each session will last 30 - 45 minutes. |
|
| Control | No Intervention | The control group will keep their normal activity without receiving any intervention. |
