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.

Secondary | Timed Up and Go test (TUG) | The TUG is a simple test used to assess a participant's mobility and requires both static and dynamic balance. TUG uses the time that a participant takes to rise from a chair, walk three meters, turn around, walk back to the chair, and sit down. During the test, the participant is expected to wear their regular footwear and use any mobility aids that they would normally require. | Baseline Assessment, Mid Training Assessment (3 weeks), Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up) | |

Secondary | EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) | The EQ-5D is a standardized instrument for measuring generic health status. The EQ-5D questionnaire has two components: health state description and evaluation. In the description part, health status is measured in terms of five dimensions (5D); mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Mobility dimension asks about the participant's walking ability. Self-care dimension asks about the ability to wash or dress by oneself, and usual activities dimension measures performance in "work, study, housework, family or leisure activities". In pain/discomfort dimension, it asks how much pain or discomfort they have, and in anxiety/depression dimension, it asks how anxious or depressed they are. | Baseline Assessment, Mid Training Assessment (3 weeks), Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up)] | |
Secondary | Korean-Modified Barthel Index (K-MBI) | The K-MBI is an ordinal scale used to measure performance in activities of daily living (ADL). Each performance item is rated on this scale with a given number of points assigned to each level or ranking. It uses ten variables describing ADL and mobility. A higher number is associated with a greater likelihood of being able to live at home with a degree of independence following discharge from hospital. | Baseline Assessment, Mid Training Assessment (3 weeks), Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up) | |

Secondary | Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) | The VAS is a pain rating scale. Scores are based on self-reported measures of symptoms that are recorded with a single handwritten mark placed at one point along the length of a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between the two ends of the scale; "no pain" on the left end (0 cm) of the scale and the "worst pain" on the right end of the scale (10 cm). | Baseline Assessment, Mid Training Assessment (3 weeks), Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up) | |
Secondary | Geriatric Depression Scale-a short version (GDS-SF) | The GDS is a 15-item self-report assessment used to identify depression in the elderly. A score of 0 to 5 is normal. A score greater than 5 suggests depression. | Baseline Assessment, Mid Training Assessment (3 weeks), Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up) | |
Secondary | Change in Muscle Strength from Baseline | The maximal isometric strength of the 12 muscles in lower extremity will be measured with 12 channels surface electromyography (NORAXON™, USA). | Baseline Assessment, Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up) | |
Secondary | Change in Muscle Activation Pattern and Effort (%MVC) during Gait from Baseline | All participants perform over-ground walking to assess the change of muscle activation pattern and effort (%MVC) using 12channels surface EMG | Baseline Assessment, Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up) | |
Secondary | Change in Gait Function from Baseline | All participants perform over-ground walking to assess the change of kinematic (lower extremity joint angles), kinetics (lower extremity joint moments) and ground reaction force using motion analysis (Kestrel Digital RealTime System, Motion Analysis Corporation, USA) and force plate ( TF-4060-B, Tec Gihan Co., Ltd. Japan), respectively. | Baseline Assessment, Post Training Assessment (6 weeks), 1 month Post Training Assessment (1 month Follow-up), 3 month Post Training Assessment (3 month Follow-up) | |
