Abstract :
The purpose of this study is to examine dual task performance during locomotion in a functional virtual setting. A virtual reality-based paradigm was developed in order to achieve this goal. To date, four participants who had a stroke completed the study protocol. Gait parameters and cognitive performance indicators varied between subjects. Further data collection and analysis is currently being performed.
