Official title
Dual-Task Cost During Walking in People With Hearing Loss Compared to Normal Hearing
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The specific aims of the research study are: 1. Compare single-task gait parameters between individuals with hearing loss (HL) and age and education matched controls with normal hearing \[normal vs moderate-profound hearing loss (N=23 for each group)\]. For that we will compare the primary outcome measure, gait speed, between the groups while participants are walking at a comfortable speed for 1 minute. 2. Compare cognitive function between individuals with HL and age and education matched controls. For that we will compare the Neurocognitive Index, derived from a cognitive assessment between groups. 3. Compare the effect of a cognitive task while walking on gait parameters between people with HL and age education matched controls with normal hearing. For that we will compare the primary outcome measure, gait speed, between groups while participants are walking at a comfortable speed and counting backwards \[serial subtraction of 3\] for 1 minute. 4. Explore whether cognitive performance (i.e., the Neurocognitive Index) is correlated with Dual task cost (DTC), a deterioration of gait speed while walking and performing concurrent cognitive task \[serial subtraction of 3\]. The formula to calculate this is the following: DTC = 100 X \[(DT - single task)/ single task\].
