Abstract

Highlights: We developed gait training for volitional and reactive multidirectional stepping. The novel dual-belt treadmill training differs from conventional gait training. Dual-belt treadmill training showed greater task-specific effects in older adults. Gait training to enhance dynamic balance based on open skills should be recommended.
