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

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 ...

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).

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,

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.

A meta-analysis: Parkinson's disease and dual-task walking [PDF]
Parkinsonism & Related Disorders, 2019 A growing body of literature has reported the effects of dual tasks on gait performance in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The purpose of this meta-analysis was to synthesize the existing literature and quantify the overall influence of dual tasks on gait performance in PD.

Reliability and Validity of Dual-Task Mobility Assessments in People with Chronic Stroke. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 BACKGROUND:The ability to perform a cognitive task while walking simultaneously (dual-tasking) is important in real life. However, the psychometric properties of dual-task walking tests have not been well established in stroke.

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021 Background The performance of a secondary task while walking increases motor-cognitive interference and exacerbates fall risk in older adults. Previous studies have demonstrated that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may improve certain ...
