Participants will be screened according to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria.Procedure will be explained and written consent will be taken from the participants. Audio recording of the informed consent form will be used to take consent from visually challenged individuals.Participants will be categorized into two groups Group A will have healthy individuals and Group B will have visually challenged individuals. Participants will be assessed for dual task performance i.e. n Back Test (NBT) with Posturography and n Back Test (NBT) with 10 Meter Walk Test (10MWT). Comparison of static and dynamic dual task performance between Group A and Group B will be done.
A prior practice for each task will be given, all the instructions will be similar for all the participants.
Participants will be assessed firstly for single task and then for dual task
Sequence of static and dynamic task will be decided using chit method.
Participant’s performance during dual task will be recorded.  Cognitive responses of participant will be recorded on a recorder for future calculation, to find out accuracy of responses. 
After taking this, dual task cost will be calculated, and then statistical analysis will be done.
