The effects of altering attentional demands of gait control on the variability of temporal and kinematic parameters

Highlights • The effects of additional concurrent tasks on gait control were investigated. • Variability in stride time and leg kinematics was assessed during walking. • The structure of variability in stride time became more random in the cognitive task. • Variability in leg kinematics became great...

More Information
Summary:Highlights • The effects of additional concurrent tasks on gait control were investigated. • Variability in stride time and leg kinematics was assessed during walking. • The structure of variability in stride time became more random in the cognitive task. • Variability in leg kinematics became greater and more complex in the visuomotor task. • Variability in leg kinematics is useful to provide further insight into gait control.
