The effects of dual tasking on gait synchronization during over-ground side-by-side walking

•A pair of human walkers will often synchronize their gait.•Handholding increases synchronization.•A simple dual task increases the level of synchronization.•A complex dual task reduces synchronization. Recent studies have shown that gait synchronization during natural walking is not merely anecdota...
