Interactive Stepping Exercise

EXPERIMENTAL

Interactive Stepping Exercise (1 hour, 3 times/week, 12 weeks) The 1-hour training program will start with10 minutes warm-up session, after that 40 minutes of ISE, and ended with 10 minutes of cool down session. Interactive Stepping Exercise (ISE) will perform on a thin mat that was partitioned into 24 squares. The ISE program included forward, backward, lateral and oblique steps, and step patterns were progressively made more complicated.

Other: Interactive Stepping Exercise

Home exercise program

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

60 minutes, 3 times/week, 12 weeks of home exercise

Other: Home exercise program

Interventions

Interactive Stepping Exercise OTHER

Interactive Stepping Exercise will perform on a thin mat, stepping pattern will display through a monitor screen, immediate auditory feedback will give for adjustment

Interactive Stepping Exercise

Home exercise program OTHER

Home exercise program includes stretching exercise, general strengthening exercise on lower extremity muscles, posture control and balance exercise.
