Effect of Gait While Reading and Texting "Rehab Spine Centre"

 



Mobile phones have become one of the necessities now a day. Divided attention leads to affected performance in one or both tasks. Effects of such dual-tasking using mobile while walking need to be explored as the use of mobile phones during walking/stair climbing etc. are very common.

Study Details:

About 132 female students aged18 yrs to 21 yrs were made for walking under three conditions (walking, walking, and reading on mobile, walking, and texting). Gait indices (step and stride length, toe-out angle) were compared in all conditions using the paired t-test.

Results: 

Step length, stride length reduced, and angle of toe-out increased significantly in reading during walking and texting during walking as compared to only walking (p<0.0001). Parameters during texting while walking showed maximum affection.

Based on the results, it was concluded that reading or texting during walking could affect walking performance adversely. Texting while walking is most harmful in the above three conditions.
