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

The effects of dual-tasking while walking naturally and on a treadmill
Acta PsychologicaDividing attention between cognitive and motor tasks, such as walking while responding to auditory cues in a conversation, is a frequent challenge in everyday life. When demands exceed available cognitive resources, performance can suffer, increasing the

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 ...

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,

Comparative effects of arithmetic, speech, and motor dual-task walking on gait in stroke survivors: a cross-sectional study. [PDF]
Front Hum NeurosciBackgroundThe application of dual-task walking paradigms for gait assessment in stroke patients is critical, where varying concurrent tasks may elicit distinct gait patterns of dual-task interference.

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 ...

Age-Related Deficits of Dual-Task Walking: A Review [PDF]
Neural Plasticity, 2012 This review summarizes our present knowledge about elderly people's problems with walking. We highlight the plastic changes in the brain that allow a partial compensation of these age-related deficits and discuss the associated costs and limitations.
