Attention demanding tasks during treadmill walking reduce step width variability in young adults
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The variability of step time and step width is associated with falls by older adults. Further, step time is significantly influenced when performing attention demanding tasks while walking. Without exception, step time variability ha...
