Intervention 1: Intervention group: Blind adolescents aged 13 to 17 years will be assessed under three foot conditions—barefoot, minimalist footwear, and conventional footwear—with and without a cognitive load (dual-task). The assessment will include measures of the center of pressure displacement and impulse at the initiation of the walking cycle. Intervention 2: Control group: Sighted adolescents aged 13 to 17 years will be assessed under three foot conditions—barefoot, minimalist footwear, and conventional footwear—with and without a cognitive load (dual-task). The assessment will include measures of the center of pressure displacement and impulse at the initiation of the walking cycle.
