Effects of a dual‐task activity on gait parameters of people with and without intellectual disabilities

Effects of a dual‐task activity on gait parameters of people with and without intellectual disabilities

Background The main objective of this study was to evaluate gait parameters in people with intellectual disability (ID) and without intellectual disability (WID) in two different walking conditions [single task vs. dual task (DT)]. A secondary aim was to evaluate the dual‐task cost (DTC) that the DT...

Zusammenfassung:Background The main objective of this study was to evaluate gait parameters in people with intellectual disability (ID) and without intellectual disability (WID) in two different walking conditions [single task vs. dual task (DT)]. A secondary aim was to evaluate the dual‐task cost (DTC) that the DT causes in each group. Methods A total of 119 participants joined in this study: 56 ID (30 men) and 63 WID (30 men). The OptoGait system was used to assess gait. In addition, Witty photocells were added to assess gait under the DT condition. Results Single support time was lower for participants with ID (P
