Cognitive-motor interference during walking with modified leg mechanics: a dual-task walking study. [PDF]

Front Psychol
BackgroundThe use of mobile exoskeletons as assistive walking devices has the potential to affect the biomechanics of the musculoskeletal system due to their weight and restricted range of motion. This may result in physical and cognitive load for the user.

Change in activity patterns in the prefrontal cortex in different phases during the dual-task walking in older adults [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2023
Background Studies using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have shown that dual-task walking leads to greater prefrontal cortex (PFC) activation compared to the single-task walking task.

An fNIRS Investigation of Discrete and Continuous Cognitive Demands During Dual-Task Walking in Young Adults [PDF]

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
Introduction: Dual-task studies have demonstrated that walking is attention-demanding for younger adults. However, numerous studies have attributed this to task type rather than the amount of required to accomplish the task.

Age-related differences in dual task walking: a cross sectional study [PDF]

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2008
Background Variability in stride velocity during walking characterizes gait instability and predicts falling in older individuals. Walking while executing a cognitive task is also associated with increased risk of falling, particularly in older adults ...

Effects of functional electrical stimulation on cognition rate and gait in neurological patients during single- and dual-task walking [PDF]

Scientific Reports
People with neurological disorders and foot drop may suffer from cognitive-motor interference during walking. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) targets foot drop during gait but its effects on cognition remain underexplored.

Effect of Dual Task on Walking Ability in Posterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Patients with Vestibular Symptoms [PDF]

Zhongguo quanke yixue, 2023
Background Posterior circulation ischemic stroke patients with vestibular symptoms usually do not present with obvious limb paralysis with certain walking ability after improvement of dizziness and vertigo symptoms, however, their fall risk is high and ...

Effect of automaticity induced by treadmill walking on prefrontal cortex activation and dual-task performance in older adults.

PLoS ONE, 2023
As individuals age, they may experience a decline in gait automaticity, which requires increased attentional resources for the control of gait. This age-related decline in gait automaticity has been shown to contribute to higher prefrontal cortex (PFC ...

Dual-task walking on real-world surfaces: Adaptive changes in walking speed, step width and step height in young and older adults

Experimental Gerontology, 2023
Objectives: Age-related changes in dual-task walking are well established, but research in this topic is based on evidence from laboratory rather than real-world studies.

Understanding the dual-task costs of walking: a StartReact study [PDF]

Experimental Brain Research, 2020
AbstractThe need to perform multiple tasks more or less simultaneously is a common occurrence during walking in daily life. Performing tasks simultaneously typically impacts task performance negatively. Hypothetically, such dual-task costs may be explained by a lowered state of preparation due to competition for attentional resources, or alternatively,
