About

In this study, the usability of the Walking and Remembering Test will be examined using the remote interview method. The study will be carried out with a single group. First, the WART test will be performed face-to-face at Marmara University Biomechanics Laboratory. The second evaluation will be carried out using a remote method. From the participants;

He/she will first be asked to walk freely within a line that is 8 meters long and 19 cm wide. Later;
He will be asked to walk once at average speed and three times as fast as possible in the same line. Later;
The participant is given a Counting Test. This test includes number sequences from 4 digits to 9 digits. Participants are told these number strings and asked to repeat them with the same speed and tone of voice. The longest sequence of numbers is recorded. Later;
The participant is walked on the same line again and asked to repeat the longest number sequence he remembers and the test is completed. Cognitive performance with the counting test reflects walking speed during 4 walks, and the number of incorrect steps reflects walking performance.
