Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
1. There is a significant difference in the effect of three different methods of cognitive loading on gait parameters across age groups.
2. There is an association of cognitive loading with different age groups.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
First Age Group
Participants with Age 21-30 years. All members of group number 1 who fall in the eligibility criteria will undergo three different types of cognitive loading. Three types of cognitive loading will be applied randomly to eliminate any bias. Each Method will be used three times with pre and post-recordings to ensure reliability.
1. working memory task.
Arithmetic test (Backward counting with serial 3 subtraction and articulation): participants will be asked to count out loud backward with serial subtraction of 3 from each number, starting with a random number provided by the researcher.
2. Visual and Verbal Fluency Task
Stroop colour word test (modified Stroop test): participants will be asked to name the colour of ink that each word is printed in. This test will appear on the mobile phone in their hands while they walk to increase the effect of cognitive loading.
3. Motor Task
Participants will be asked to hold a tray of glasses filled with water and walk 10 meters to calculate the effect of cognitive loading on gait.
Second Age Group
Participants with age 31-40 years. All members of group number 2 who fall in the eligibility criteria will undergo three different types of cognitive loading. Three types of cognitive loading will be applied randomly to eliminate any bias. Each Method will be used three times with pre and post-recordings to ensure reliability.

Third Age Group
Participants with Age 41-50 years. All members of group number 3 who fall in the eligibility criteria will undergo three different types of cognitive loading. Three types of cognitive loading will be applied randomly to eliminate any bias. Each Method will be used three times with pre and post-recordings to ensure reliability.

Fourth Age Group
Participants with age 51-60 years. All members of group number 4 who fall in the eligibility criteria will undergo three different types of cognitive loading. Three types of cognitive loading will be applied randomly to eliminate any bias. Each Method will be used three times with pre and post-recordings to ensure reliability.
