The effect of biomechanical features on classification of dual-task gait.

ABSTRACT: Early detection of Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders (ADRD) has been a focus of research with the hope that early intervention may improve clinical outcomes. The manifestation of motor impairment in early stages of ADRD has led to the inclusion of gait assessments including spatiotemporal parameters in clinical evaluations. This study aims to determine the effect of adding kinetic and kinematic gait features to classification of different levels of cognitive load in healthy individuals. A dual-task paradigm was used to simulate cognitive impairment in 40 healthy adults, with single-task walking trials representing normal, healthy gait. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task was administered at two different inter-stimulus intervals representing two levels of cognitive load in dual
