A major cause of mobility deficits is gait instability, which can increase the risk of falls and limit independent function. While several common rehabilitation methods (e.g. locomotor training, traditional balance training, strengthening) can improve some aspects of function, they have failed to address fall incidence among PwCS. In part, this lack of success is likely due to current interventions not being…
