Measures included standing on firm and foam surfaces with feet apart, then together with eyes open and closed, Timed Up and Go (TUG) test and dual TUG test, Dynamic Gait Index, 6\u2010Minute Walk Test, Halmagyi Impulse Test, Dynamic Visual Acuity Test, and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The clinical group failed more trials standing feet together on foam with eyes closed (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05); had inferior mobility and walked more slowly with divided attention (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .05); had more difficulty walking with head movement, negotiating obstacles, and using stairs (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .01); and walked shorter distances (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001) than controls.
