Comparison of gait parameters across three attentional loading conditions during timed up and go test in stroke survivors.

Conclusions: These findings suggested that gait performance was compromised during dual-task conditions for individuals with stroke. Attentional loading may be incorporated into routine gait assessment and rehabilitation to ensure a successful recovery. PMID: 24710973 [PubMed - in process]
