Subjects will be instructed to walk on a treadmill, moving at a constant speed, following a "virtual path" displayed on a flat screen in front of them. In this group, the gait task may involve avoiding virtual obstacles on the screen in the path or stepping on targets as determined by the therapist.

Subjects will be instructed to walk on a treadmill, moving at a constant speed. The flat screen will play random scenes from the virtual reality environment and thus control for attentional and non-movement related clues.

Virtual Environment Rehabilitation for Patients With Motor Neglect Trial

Trial of Virtual Reality Biofeedback in Patients With Motor Neglect From Chronic Pain or Cerebrovascular Disease

Distance walked in 5 minutes at weeks 2 compared to baseline (% change)

Self-reported 20-question Functional Activity Questionnaire with minimal clinically important difference of 9 (range 0-80). Each question scored 0-4. Low scores indicate less function.

Self-reported questionnaire - mean score (11-point analogue scale). High scores indicate more pain. % change from baseline will be calculated

Self-reported questionnaire (0-94 points). Low scores indicate loss of function.

Self-reported questionnaire (0-21 on each dimension of Anxiety and Depression). High scores indicate high Anxiety or Depression

Self-reported questionnaire (1-6). High scores indicate more Neglect-like symptoms

Self-reported questionnaire. 0-5 score. High scores indicate high satisfaction
