Effects of functional electrical stimulation on cognition rate and gait in neurological patients during single- and dual-task walking. [PDF]

Sci Rep
People with neurological disorders and foot drop may suffer from cognitive-motor interference during walking. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) targets foot drop during gait but its effects on cognition remain underexplored.

Cognitive and motor dual task gait training improve dual task gait performance after stroke - A randomized controlled pilot trial

Scientific Reports, 2017
This study investigated effects of cognitive and motor dual task gait training on dual task gait performance in stroke. Participants (n = 28) were randomly assigned to cognitive dual task gait training (CDTT), motor dual task gait training (MDTT), or ...

Dual-Task Does Not Increase Slip and Fall Risk in Healthy Young and Older Adults during Walking

Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2017
Dual-task tests can identify gait characteristics peculiar to fallers and nonfallers. Understanding the relationship between gait performance and dual-task related cognitive-motor interference is important for fall prevention.

Effects of dual-task and walking speed on gait variability in people with chronic ankle instability: a cross-sectional study

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2017
Background Recent evidence suggests that impaired central sensorimotor integration may contribute to deficits in movement control experienced by people with chronic ankle instability (CAI).

Information presentation through a head-worn display ("smart glasses") has a smaller influence on the temporal structure of gait variability during dual-task gait compared to handheld displays (paper-based system and smartphone). [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
The need to complete multiple tasks concurrently is a common occurrence both daily life and in occupational activities, which can often include simultaneous cognitive and physical demands.

Valosin‐containing protein counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its ATPase activity in vitro

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Remote Assessment of Ataxia Severity in SCA3 Across Multiple Centers and Time Points

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) is a genetically defined ataxia. The Scale for Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA) is a clinician‐reported outcome that measures ataxia severity at a single time point. In its standard application, SARA fails to capture short‐term fluctuations, limiting its sensitivity in trials.

Validity of a Wearable Digital Insole for Assessing Gait ON and OFF in Parkinson's Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Gait impairment is a distinctive symptom of Parkinson's disease that negatively impact mobility. We assessed the validity of wearable digital insoles against a validated reference gait analysis system for measuring select gait characteristics in patients with Parkinson's disease. Methods A comparative analysis between digital insoles

Dual tasking in Parkinson’s disease: Cognitive consequences while walking.

Neuropsychology, 2017
Cognitive deficits are common in Parkinson's disease (PD) and exacerbate the functional limitations imposed by PD's hallmark motor symptoms, including impairments in walking. Though much research has addressed the effect of dual cognitive-locomotor tasks on walking, less is known about their effect on cognition.

Dual vs. Single Tasking During Circular Walking: What Better Reflects Progression in Parkinson's Disease?

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Background and Aim: Reliable, valid and sensitive measures of dual-task-associated impairments in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) may reveal progressive deficits unnoticed under single-task walking.
