The tasks used during action observation training
| Training | Method |
|---|---|
| Stair up & down (2 min) | The training involves using wooden stairs of 10cm and 15cm heights. Participants initially practice ascending and descending the 10cm stairs. If successful, they advance to the 15cm stairs. The observational group observes training videos featuring stair exercises at both heights (10cm and 15cm) to adapt to the changing training conditions. |
| Cross the Obstacles (2 min) | The obstacles, commonly found in the local community, are constructed with heights of 4cm and 8cm using wooden material. Training involves placing obstacles at 1m intervals along a 10m path for walking practice. Initially, participants practice crossing the 4cm height obstacle, and if successful, they progress to training on the 8cm height obstacle. The observational training group watches videos of obstacle crossing exercises at both 4cm and 8cm heights to adapt to the changing obstacle conditions. |
| Walking Sideways (2 min) | Training is conducted with obstacles placed at 1m and 70cm intervals along a 10m path, enabling participants to practice zigzag walking through the obstacles. Initially, participants undergo training with obstacles at 1m intervals, and if successful, they advance to training with 70cm intervals. The observational training group watches videos of zigzag walking exercises with obstacle intervals of 1m and 70cm to adapt to the changing conditions. |
| Foot cross and walking sideways (2 min) | Training involves walking laterally for a distance of 10m. If the participant demonstrates proficiency, the training focuses on increasing walking speed. The observational training group watches videos at 1.25 times the normal speed after three weeks of training. |
| Walking a zigzag (2 min) | Training involves walking laterally for a distance of 10m with a crossing of the feet. If the participant demonstrates proficiency, the training focuses on increasing walking speed. The observational training group watches videos at 1.25 times the normal speed after three weeks of training. |
