The Effect of Secondary Cognitive Task on Time of the Stance Phase of People with Down Syndrome

Abstract

the of on time of the phase of with and with a of ± selected the Participants performed two different cognitive tasks while walking on the Foot Medisense machine and the timing of the s tance-phase was measured. Results: The results showed no significant difference between the intra-group factors in the right and left heel s trike phase. However, the foot flat phase, mid-s tance phase, heel-off, and toe-off phase in the right and left heel s trike phase have shown significant differences. Furthermore, a significant difference between intra-group factors for the left and right leg was observed. Conclusion: Our data indicate that the evaluation of the s tance-phase could be used for the assessment of motor function in children with Down syndrome.
