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.

Scientific Reports, 2022 The concurrent additional tasking impacts the walking performance, and such impact is even greater in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) than in healthy elders.

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.

Alteration of brain dynamics during dual‐task overground walking
European Journal of Neuroscience, 2020 Abstract When walking in our natural environment, we often solve additional cognitive tasks. This increases the demand of resources needed for both the cognitive and motor systems, resulting in Cognitive‐Motor Interference (CMI). A large portion of neurophysiological investigations on CMI took place in static settings, emphasizing the

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 ...

Effects of aging and dual tasking on step adjustments to perturbations in visually cued walking [PDF]
, 2015 Making step adjustments is an essential component of walking. However, the ability to make step adjustments may be compromised when the walker's attentional capacity is limited.

Relationship Between Dual-Task Gait Speed and Walking Activity Poststroke [PDF]
Stroke, 2018 Background and Purpose— Gait speed does not adequately predict whether stroke survivors will be active in the community. This may be because traditional single-task gait speed does not sufficiently reproduce the demands of walking in the real world. This study assessed whether dual-task gait speed accounts for variance in daily

Monitoring multiple cortical regions during walking in young and older adults: dual-task response and comparison challenges [PDF]
, 2019 Performance of several tasks simultaneously (dual-tasks) is common in everyday walking. Studies indicate that dual-task walking performance declines with age together with cognitive function, but neural mechanisms underpinning deficits remain unclear ...
