Tandem Gait Test-Retest Reliability Among Healthy Child and Adolescent Athletes.

CONCLUSIONS: Tandem gait outcome measures demonstrated high test-retest reliability in both the single- and dual-task conditions. The overall reliability was within the acceptable range for clinical practice, but improvements across tests suggested a moderate practice effect. Tandem gait represents a reliable, dynamic, postural-control test that requires minimal space, cost, and time. PMID: 31657636 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
