Health Condition(s) or Problem(s) Studied		Health Condition(s)
Intervention(s)		After obtaining informed consent, basic demographic information will be collected, clinical assessment measures will be obtained, and gait function will be measured using the A-RROWG system. Participants will then be asked to conduct their usual daily life for five days while wearing shoes fitted with the A-RROWG in-shoe motion sensor system (comparable to a standard insole). On Day 1, gait will be recorded under normal conditions without drawing participants' attention to their walking style. On Day 2 of the measurement period, a single audio walking instruction will be provided. No walking instructions will be provided on Days 3,4,5. The audio used for the walking instruction will be set to a tempo of 125 bpm, and the same audio file will be distributed to participants in both groups via social networking services (SNS).
