Interventions
Within VSR training,
participants will be instructed to lean with whole body until they feel they are losing balance and then take a single step. This will be repeated on both legs interspersed with rest as needed for the
like perturbations (like the stop/start of a bus). These are not big enough perturbations to elicit compensatory steps. Repeated practice of responding to DynSTABLE platform movements will be carried

Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants will be recruited if they are diagnosed with stroke (of any etiology e.g. ischemic or acquired/traumatic haemorrhagic) or brain injury, are medically stable to take part in rehabilitation (i.e. have been referred for balance/gait community rehabilitation by their clinical teams), can stand independently without an assistive device, and can walk independently with or without gait aid for at least 5 meters
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Participants with stroke who have cognitive deficits precluding understanding of instructions or provision of informed consent (MMSE < 24) will be excluded from the study. All participants who have visual problem that cannot be corrected with glasses, or have other neurological, cardiovascular, or musculoskeletal conditions (e.g. lower extremities amputation, injury, osteoporosis or etc.) that will impede ability to perform any instrument testing, will be excluded from this study.
