Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of a secondary task on foot pedal reaction time, movement time and total response time in patients with transtibial amputation. DESIGN: Controlled trial without randomization. SUBJECTS: Ten patients with transtibial amputation and 13 age-matched controls. METHODS: Foot pedal reaction time and movement time were measured for both legs under simple and dual-task conditions.To evaluate the influence of a secondary task on foot pedal reaction time, movement time and total response time in patients with transtibial amputation.Controlled trial without randomization.Ten patients with transtibial amputation and 13 age-matched controls.Foot pedal reaction time and movement time were measured for both legs under simple and dual-task conditions. RESULTS: While mean simple reaction time was similar for both groups (258 (standard deviation (SD) 53) vs 239 (SD 34) ms), a group by reaction time condition interaction (p
