The objective of this study was to examine immediate test-retest reliability of STV while single and dual tasking in cognitively healthy older individuals CHI and in demented patients with frontotemporal degeneration FTD . Methods Based on a cross-sectional design 69 community-dwelling CHI mean age women and 14 demented patients with FTD mean age years women walked alone without performing an additional task . single tasking and while counting backward CB aloud starting from 50 . dual tasking . Each subject completed two trials for all the testing conditions. The mean value and the coefficient of variation CoV of stride time while walking alone and while CB at self-selected walking speed were measured using GAITRite and SMTEC footswitch systems. Results ICC of mean value in CHI under both walking conditions were higher than ICC of demented patients with FTD and indicated perfect reliability ICC . Reliability of mean value was better while single tasking than dual tasking in CHI ICC under single-task and ICC under dual-task whereas it was the .
