Individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) feature reduced walking speed. However, the relationship between walking speed and different task conditions remains unclear. This study aims to investigate walking speed in single and dual-task conditions among individuals with PD. This cross-sectional study analyzes baseline data from a controlled clinical trial developed at “Reference Center for Aging and Movement” (CREM) in Brazil. A total of 15 subjects, 67.1±8.1 years, 9 men, recruited through community advertisements, and diagnosed with PD scoring 1 to 3 on the Hoehn and Yahr (1967) scale. Parti
