Brief summary: The aim of this study is to find out to determine changes in gait, dual-task interference, cognition, and fall scores during a cognitive walking dual task on a treadmill while wearing augmented reality-based smartglasses in stroke patients.

Before the experiment, the investigators measure the subjects general characteristics, gait, cognition, dual-task interference, and fall risk. This will be done 3 times a week for 30 minutes for 4 weeks.

Group 1 will perform a cognitive task with smart glasses and a gait task on a treadmill at the same time. The training will consist of 10 minutes of treadmill walking without incline, followed by 5 minutes of rest, followed by 10 minutes of treadmill walking with incline, followed by 5 minutes of rest.

Group 2 will perform only treadmill walking without the cognitive task. Same as the experimental group: 10 minutes without treadmill incline, followed by 5 minutes rest, followed by 10 minutes treadmill incline, followed by 5 minutes rest.

At the end of the 4-week training program, the investigators will measure walking ability, cognitive performance, dual-task interference, and fall risk as assessed before the experiment.

* Stable health to participate in the study protocol and interventions

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have comorbidities or disabilities other than stroke that may interfere with gait training
