Dual-task prioritization during overground and treadmill walking in healthy adults [PDF]
Gait & Posture, 2020 The dual-task effect on walking performance is different during treadmill and overground walking, though the cause of this difference is unknown. This study examined the effects of task prioritization on overground and treadmill dual-task walking.Twenty-two adults walked overground and on a treadmill under three dual-task conditions: prioritization of ...

Dual-Task Performance in Older Adults With and Without Idiopathic Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2022 Two of the main features of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are disturbed gait and cognition. These features are typically investigated separately, but here we combined walking with a cognitive task to investigate if older adults with ...

Alteration of brain dynamics during natural dual-task walking [PDF]
, 2020 ABSTRACTWhile walking in our natural environment, we continuously solve additional cognitive tasks. This increases the demand of resources needed for both the cognitive and motor systems, resulting in Cognitive-Motor Interference (CMI). While it is well known that a performance decrease in one or both tasks can be observed, little is known about human ...

Dual-task related gait changes after CSF tapping: a new way to identify idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus [PDF]
, 2013 BACKGROUND: Gait disturbances found in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) are unspecific to the diagnosis and commonly occur in neurodegenerative or vascular conditions (iNPH-like conditions).
