Treatments
Active_comparator: Real-time gait biofeedback (RTGBF)
The RTGBF regimen delivers biofeedback that cues a personalized target to normalize vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) of each limb.
Sham_comparator: Sham real-time gait biofeedback (Sham RTGBF)
The Sham RTGBF regimen will receive biofeedback that cues their habitual step length determined during the accommodation period on the first session of treadmill walking.
