Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The research design will include two groups, the intervention and control group. Both groups will undergo a screening process, two baseline testing sessions, and be randomly assigned to one of the two groups. The duration of the study is 6 weeks in length for a total of 18 training sessions. The intervention group participants will undergo gait training with a specific concomitant cognitive task (dual-task) for a total walking time of 20 minutes and with rest breaks the total session time is \~60 minutes with a physical therapist. The control group will undergo gait training, but without the cognitive task. Feedback from the therapist will be provided to each participant concerning gait mechanics and ways to improve gait regardless of group membership.
Outcome measures data will be collected twice at baseline, once at mid-intervention, once at post-intervention, and once at one-month follow-up.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Single-Task Gait
The Single-Task Gait group will be provided with gait training without the Dual-Task cognitive tasks.
Single-task gait
During the training sessions, you will participate in gait training with a physical therapist (PT). You will be asked to walk in 2-minute bouts and you will be provided with adequate rest breaks to help manage your fatigue levels. At the end of each session, you will have walked for a total walking time of 20 minutes.
Dual-Task Gait
The Dual-Task Gait group will be provided with gait training AND secondary cognitive tasks during gait training.
Dual-task gait
During the training sessions, you will participate in gait training with a physical therapist (PT). You will be asked to walk in 2-minute bouts and you will be provided with adequate rest breaks to help manage your fatigue levels. In addition to performing the gait training activities, you will be asked to perform thinking tasks at the same time. These pre-recorded questions or prompts will be provided to you through headphones and a portable music player. This is to help ensure that the PT is able to focus on giving you feedback about your walking ability and answers to the thinking tasks, and on your safety. At the end of each session, you will have walked for a total walking time of 20 minutes.
