Conditions
Interventions
Participants will practice the cognitive or motor task while maintaining the balance under different conditions that will challenge the postural control abilities. The therapist will instruct the part
together stance on a foam. The therapist will instruct the participant to primarily focus on "finishing the cognitive/motor tasks accurately". ,Participants will receive single balance and cognitive t
