Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
We use the OPTOGait system to record the self-selected gait speed [1) baseline and post-taping assessment (immediately assess after taping placement for the first time)<br>2) After the 4 weeks intervention<br>3) 1 month follow up after the intervention finished<br>]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Balance, assessed using the Berg Balance Scale[1) baseline and post-taping assessment (immediately assess after taping placement for the first time)<br>2) After the 4 weeks intervention<br>3) 1 month follow up after the intervention finished];muscle strength, assessed using the hand-hled dyanometer[1) baseline and post-taping assessment (immediately assess after taping placement for the first time)<br>2) After the 4 weeks intervention<br>3) 1 month follow up after the intervention finished];Physical endurance, assessed using the 6 minutes walking test[1) baseline and post-taping assessment (immediately assess after taping placement for the first time)<br>2) After the 4 weeks intervention<br>3) 1 month follow up after the intervention finished]
