Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of training with the Gait Enhancing and Motivating System-Hip GEMS-H vs training without the GEMS-H on locomotor function in adults The investigator hypothesizes that long-term GEMS-H use would improve locomotor function Specifically individuals in the GEMS-H group will show faster gait speed compared to those in the control group
Detailed Description:
The GEMS-H is a hip-type assist device developed by Samsung Electronics The GEMS-H is worn around the waist and fastened at the waist and thighs by a set of belts with velcro to assist motion at the hip joints The device weighs 21kg and has 2 brushless direct current motors running on a rechargeable lithium ion battery The normal operation time for the device is 2 hours It is controlled through a custom built application on a hand held tablet

Participants will be scheduled for 18 sessions of training randomly placed either in GEMS-H training group or traditional training group without the GEM-H plus 5 sessions of testing pre-training mid-test after the 9 sessions of training post-training 1 month follow-up and 3 month follow-up after the 18 sessions training completed
