Using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy to measure prefrontal cortex activity during dual‐task walking and navigated walking: A feasibility study [PDF]
Brain and Behavior, 2023 Introduction While functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can provide insight into motor‐cognitive deficits during ecologically valid gait conditions, the feasibility of using fNIRS during complex walking remains unknown. We tested the process and

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

Dual task walking in healthy aging: Effects of narrow and wide walking paths.
PLoS ONE, 2021 Dual-task walking may lead to gait instability and a higher fall risk in older adults, particularly when walking in a busy city street. Challenging street features such as narrow sidewalks not only discourage walking, but are also likely to be taxing for

Freezing of Gait in Parkinson's Disease: Implications for Dual-Task Walking. [PDF]
J Parkinsons Dis, 2023 Background: The simultaneous completion of multiple tasks (dual-tasking, DT) often leads to poorer task performance (DT cost, DTC). People with Parkinson’s disease (PwPD) exhibit difficulty with DT, and DTC may be particularly pronounced in PwPD with freezing of gait (FOG).

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.

A study of eye movement during dual-task walking in elderly individuals. [PDF]
J Phys Ther Sci[Purpose] Older adults are at higher risk of falling during dual-task walking; however, their eye movements during such time are unclear. Our previous studies measured eye movements during pseudo-walking (walking in place), with and without calculation tasks, to investigate the mechanisms of falls experienced by elderly individuals during dual-task ...
