Decreased range of motion (ROM) of the ankle and dorsiflexor strength due to the aging process has been associated with increased risk of trips and falls. However, the impact of dual-task on the ankle ROM in elderly is not clear. It was our objective to evaluate the ankle ROM in community elderly during usual gait and two simultaneous task conditions (functional and cognitive). Thirty-two community elderly (66....
