Treadmill gait training with verbal instruction
Each participant will receive 12 treatment with special verbal instruction which depends on participant's group. Each training session will last 60 minutes, including 5 minutes of warm-up stretching exercise, 40 minutes of treadmill training, and 15 minutes of over-ground gait and balance training. Throughout the 40 minutes of treadmill walking, the participants will walk on the level of 0% slope with a body-weight support system (LikorallTM 200, Liko, Sweden) used to protect the participants from falling; no actual weight support of the body will be provided. The frequency of intervention will be 2-3 days a week, spread across 4-6 weeks. The intervention protocols will be the same for all groups except the instruction provided to the participants in each group.
