Cue X
All participants will train with Cue X gamified AR gait-and-balance-exercises in their home environment for 6 weeks. Participants are invited to use Cue X minimally 5 times a week for 30 minutes total, but preferably on a daily basis. The exact exercises, exercise duration and difficulty level will be prescribed by a movement expert and will be evaluated and adjusted every week in telephone calls or during one of the laboratory assessment. Half of the participants will train with HoloLens 2 and the other half with Magic Leap 2.
