Walking modality, but not task difficulty, influences the control of dual-task walking

Gait & Posture, 2017
During dual-task gait, changes in the stride-to-stride variability of stride time (STV) are suggested to represent the allocation of cognitive control to walking [1]. However, contrasting effects have been reported for overground and treadmill walking, which may be due to differences in the relative difficulty of the dual task.

Changes in step-width during dual-task walking predicts falls

Gait & Posture, 2010
The aim was to evaluate whether gait pattern changes between single- and dual-task conditions were associated with risk of falling in older people. Dual-task cost (DTC) of 230 community living, physically independent people, 75 years or older, was determined with an electronic walkway. Participants were followed up each month for 1 year to record falls.

Dual task effects of walking when talking in Alzheimer's disease

Revue Neurologique, 2004
Previous studies with Alzheimer Disease (AD) patients have suggested that speed and accuracy in walking can be dramatically affected by a simultaneous secondary cognitive task, such as holding a conversation. Two experiments examined the impact on AD patients and age matched elderly controls of cognitive demands while walking.

Relationship between balance and dual task walking in the very elderly

Geriatrics & Gerontology International, 2015
AimTo investigate the relationship between balance and dual task performance in adults aged over 80 years, and to analyze possible differences between fallers and non‐fallers in dual task performance.MethodsAn observational cross‐sectional study was carried out at theFederalUniversity ofSãoCarlos (Brazil). We assessed 67 community‐dwelling older adults

Effect of task difficulty on dual-task cost during dual-task walking in people with multiple sclerosis

Gait & Posture
Cognitive-motor dual-task walking results a decrease in walking performance of patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) and it is known as dual-task cost (DTC). However, there is a lack of evidence about the effects of dual-tasks with hierarchical difficulty on DTC in PwMS.This study aimed to investigate the effect of task difficulty on DTC during ...

Can people with Parkinson's disease improve dual tasking when walking?

Gait & Posture, 2010
Gait disorders in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) are accentuated when they perform another task simultaneously. This study examines whether practice enables people with PD to walk with large steps while performing added tasks, and to determine if training people with PD to walk with added working memory tasks leads to improvements in gait when ...

Associations of dual-task walking costs with cognition in Parkinson’s disease

Gait & Posture
Gait and cognition are closely associated in Parkinson's disease (PD), with specific cognitive domains being associated with different motor symptoms. By identifying gait parameters affected by cognition, clinicians can develop targeted interventions that address cognitive impairment, improve gait, and reduce the risk of injury in PD patients.What gait
