Changes in Standing and Walking Performance Under Dual-Task Conditions Across the Lifespan [PDF]
, 2015 Simultaneous performance of a postural and a concurrent task is rather unproblematic as long as the postural task is executed in an automatic way. However, in situations where postural control requires more central processing, cognitive resources may be ...

Dual task prioritization during overground and treadmill walking
, 2019 AbstractBackgroundThe 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.
