Summary

The goal of this study is to determine how different types of cognitive loading affect the gait of an individual and its association with growing age. The main aim is to find out if:

1. There is a significant difference in the effect of three different methods of cognitive loading on gait parameters across age groups.
2. There is an association of cognitive loading with different age groups.

Conditions

  • Gait Analysis
  • Cognitive Load, Performance

Interventions

OTHER

1. working memory task.

Arithmetic test (Backward counting with serial 3 subtraction and articulation): participants will be asked to count out loud backward with serial subtraction of 3 from each number, starting with a random number provided by the researcher.

OTHER

2. Visual and Verbal Fluency Task

Stroop colour word test (modified Stroop test): participants will be asked to name the colour of ink that each word is printed in. This test will appear on the mobile phone in their hands while they walk to increase the effect of cognitive loading.

OTHER

3. Motor Task

Participants will be asked to hold a tray of glasses filled with water and walk 10 meters to calculate the effect of cognitive loading on gait.
