Voice changes during dual task walking in Parkinson’s disease

Journal of Communication Disorders
Concurrent talking and walking are integral to everyday life. This study aimed to examine how dual task walking involving spontaneous speech affects phonatory and gait parameters in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD).Thirty-six individuals with PD and 11 healthy older adults (HOA) participated in the study.

Development of a Clinical Measure of Dual-task Performance in Walking

Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy, 2009
(1) To examine the reliability of a new clinical measure of simultaneous walking with performance of a working memory task, the Walking and Remembering Test (WART). (2) To compare older adult to younger adult WART performance to illustrate preliminary validity.Convenience sample of 25 young adults (ages 22-35) and 25 older adults (ages 65-86) performed

Spatiotemporal gait characteristics of Huntington’s disease during dual-task walking

International Journal of Neuroscience, 2019
Purpose: Huntington's disease (HD) is an neurodegenerative genetic disorder with characteristic gait changes. HD also results in a range of cognitive impairments, such as difficulties to divide attention, or simultaneously monitoring two tasks.Aim: The impact of cognitive and/or motor tasks on HD gait has not been fully elucidated.

Walking and talking: an investigation of cognitive—motor dual tasking in multiple sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis Journal, 2009
Background: Deficits in motor functioning, including walking, and in cognitive functions, including attention, are known to be prevalent in multiple sclerosis (MS), though little attention has been paid to how impairments in these areas of functioning interact. Objectives: This study investigated the effects of performing a concurrent

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

Effects of explicit prioritization on dual task walking in patients with Parkinson's disease

Gait & Posture, 2012
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have difficulties performing a dual task (DT) while walking and may use the "posture second" strategy. It is not clear if this is a result of motor or cognitive impairments. We examined the effects of explicit prioritization of walking or the cognitive task on gait speed (GS) and variability in 20 patients (Hoehn &

The Effects of EnhanceFitness (EF) Training on Dual-Task Walking in Older Adults

Journal of Applied Gerontology, 2012
Decline in dual-task walking performance is associated with increased risk of falls among older adults. The objective of this study is to determine whether 18 hr of participation in EnhanceFitness (EF), an evidence-based group exercise program, improves dual-task walking performance among community-dwelling older adults. Twenty-eight healthy, community-

Age-related deficits of dual-task walking: The role of foot vision

Gait & Posture, 2011
Previous studies found that age-related deficits of dual-task walking emerge with secondary tasks that require substantial visual processing, but are absent with tasks that require little or no visual processing. We evaluated whether this is so because visual tasks typically interfere with foot vision, on which older persons depend more heavily than ...

The Dual-Task Methodology and Assessing the Attentional Demands of Ambulation with Walking Devices

Physical Therapy, 1992
The purposes of this article are (1) to provide a preliminary examination of the attentional demands of ambulating with two commonly prescribed walking aids (a standard walker and a rolling walker) and (2) to introduce the dual-task methodology to the physical therapy community.
