The study investigated the impact of motor dual-task training on gait and mobility in children with intellectual disabilities. Performance was assessed using the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) and the 10-Meter Walking Test (TMWT) before and after an 8-week training period, with participants divided into a Trained Group (n=12) and a Control Group (n=14). Results indicated that, across both groups and regardless of session, TUGT and TMWT scores were significantly higher (p < 0.001) in the motor dual-task condition compared to the single-task condition. Post-training, TUGT scores significantly decreased (p < 0.05) in the single-task condition. The Trained Group showed significant improvements in second motor-task performance on both TUGT (p < 0.05) and TMWT (p < 0.001) under dual-task conditions, while the Control Group showed no change. The study demonstrated the effectiveness of motor dual-task training in enhancing mobility in children with intellectual disabilities.
