Exclusion Criteria:

* Participants with unstable medication regimens that could interfere with their participation in the study.
* Any comorbidity that could interfere with walking or gait training.
* Participation in VR-assisted gait training within the last 6 months.
* Intolerance to virtual reality environments or motion simulation.
* Severe cognitive, visual, or hearing impairments where the participant cannot follow the therapist's instructions.
* More than 135 kg total body weight.
* More than 2.00 meters in body height.

Clarification:

\- The diagnosis of TBI can be confirmed by their physician or a physical therapist referring to the patient. If a physical therapist makes the referral, the diagnosis must still be officially confirmed by a physician to ensure it meets the study's medical criteria.
