Gaze and Gait Training With rTMS
Sponsor: University of Florida
Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of combining repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), gaze and gait training to improve walking and balance in people with or without mild cognitive impairment.

Conditions
Interventions
Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)
10 Hz rTMS for 5 seconds over the frontal eye fields with 25 second intertrain interval for 10 trains (500 pulses) at 90% of the resting motor threshold,
Gait training
Subjects will practice stepping on virtual targets with real-time feedback of their foot position displayed on a screen while walking on a treadmill.
Gaze training
Subjects will perform gaze stabilization and gaze shifting exercise via a virtual reality headset.
Sham rTMS
Sham rTMS stimulation will produce discharge noise and vibration without stimulating the cerebral cortex.
