Synopsis

Twenty-four transfemoral amputees were included in this study comparing single task training (gait and balance exercises; n=12) and dual task training (cognitive and motor tasks during gait and balance exercises; n=12). Outcomes of interest included the 1-leg stance test and four square step test for balance, timed up and go (TUG) test, and 10 meter walk test for gait assessment, the Montreal Cogn...
