Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus Action Observation Therapy Gait Mobility Idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Interventions

AOT will be applied only once after baseline assessments. It consists of a preparatory phase (10 minutes) and observation plus execution phase (7 minutes). The total duration for intervention will be
the participants will perform stretching and relaxation exercises to improve flexibility&#44
range of motion&#44
blood circulation and posture to get ready for further AOT execution. In the observation plus execution phase&#44
the participants will watch a video clip carefully and continuously together with execution simultaneously watching the video.
