‘Faster counting while walking' as a predictor of falls in older adults [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objective: to establish whether changes in a spoken verbal task performance while walking compared with being at rest could predict falls among older adults. Design: prospective cohort study of 12 months' duration.

In Parkinson’s disease, dual-tasking reduces gait smoothness during the straight-walking and turning-while-walking phases of the Timed Up and Go test

open access: yesBMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation
Background Dual-task walking is used as a treatment, for gait assessment, and as an outcome measure in Parkinson’s disease (PD). Movement smoothness, i.e. its non-intermittency, is a movement cardinal feature.

Neurovascular de‐coupling underlies dual‐task cost across cognitive abilities

open access: yesAlzheimer’s & Dementia: Translational Research & Clinical Interventions
INTRODUCTION We tested the hypothesis that increased middle cerebral artery velocity (MCA velocity) during complex motor (overground walking) and cognitive tasks (e.g., dual task) is associated with cognitive performance in older adults with varying ...

Muscles Activity in the elderly with Balance Impairments in walking under Dual tasks

open access: yesBiyumikānīk-i varzishī, 2016
Objectives: Each step during gait requires different attention demands that will affect muscles activity. The study of changes in the timing and intensity of the muscles activity in walking with dual task has received less attention from researchers. The

Key accelerometry measures for understanding walking sway during dual-task exercises

open access: yesHeliyon
This study aimed to identify optimal methods of acceleration analysis to accurately detect dual-task-related changes in walking sway.Twenty-six healthy adults participated in this study, undergoing various cognitive dual-task conditions while walking. Accelerometers were attached to the lower back to record center-of-mass (COM) acceleration in anterior-
