Area of Science:

  • Biomechanics
  • Human Factors
  • Gerontology

Background:

  • Texting while walking can disrupt gait and increase fall risk, particularly outdoors.
  • Limited research quantifies texting's effect on motor behavior during dynamic tasks in outdoor settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of texting on dynamic motor tasks in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty participants performed walking, turning, sit-to-stand, and stand-to-sit tasks with and without texting.
  • Delsys inertial sensors were used to collect data in indoor and outdoor settings.

Main Results:

  • Texting accuracy showed no significant difference between environments (p = 0.3).
  • A higher dual-tasking cost in walking time was observed when texting outdoors compared to indoors (p = 0.008).

Conclusions:

  • Dual-tasking, specifically texting while walking, has a greater negative impact on walking time in outdoor environments.
  • Findings emphasize the need for patient education on dual-tasking and pedestrian safety in clinical practice.
