Summary

Patients with persistent postural-perceptual dizziness (PPPD) show altered gait, including shorter stride length and slower speed, especially during dual-task walking. Gait analysis, particularly dual-task stance phase and speed, can help differentiate PPPD patients from healthy individuals.
