Effects of manual task complexity on gait parameters in school-aged children and adults

Highlights • We examine the interference effects of simple and complex manual tasks on gait. • Simple manual tasks do not disrupt gait in adults or school-aged children. • Complex manual tasks have greater costs on gait in school-aged children than adults.
