Abstract
Given that the prevalence of developmental disabilities is rising in U.S. children and acknowledging that these children show lower gross motor outcomes than their typically developing peers, it is necessary to investigate potential treatments that enhance children's physical functioning. The present study examined the effects of external auditory, tactile, and audio-tactile stimuli on gait parameters in children with developmental disabilities. Participants were asked to walk a 10 meter walkway while being exposed to these three different stimuli in a randomized order. A pretest served to ...
