The Applicability of Rhythm-Motor Tasks to a New Dual Task Paradigm for Older Adults
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 Given the interplay between cognitive and motor functions during walking, cognitive demands required during gait have been investigated with regard to dual task performance. Along with the needs to understand how the type of concurrent task while walking

Neural Correlates of Dual-Task Walking
, 2016 Walking while concurrently performing cognitive and/or motor interference tasks is the norm rather than the exception during everyday life and there is evidence from behavioral studies that it negatively affects human locomotion. However, there is hardly any information available regarding the underlying neural correlates of single- and dual-task ...

A Cross-species Model of Dual-Task Walking in Young and Older Humans and Rats
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, 2020 Introduction: Dual-task walking is common in daily life but becomes more difficult with aging. Little is known about the neurobiological mechanisms affecting competing cognitive demands.

Association between dual task-related decrease in walking speed and real versus imagined Timed Up and Go test performance [PDF]
, 2018 Background and aims: To examine whether older people with markedly dual task-related decreases in walking speed—a marker of disturbed higher-level gait control and falls—have a larger discrepancy between real and imagined Timed Up and Go (TUG) test times

Direct and indirect effects of attention and visual function on gait impairment in Parkinson's disease: influence of task and turning [PDF]
, 2017 Gait impairment is a core feature of Parkinson's disease (PD) which has been linked to cognitive and visual deficits, but interactions between these features are poorly understood.

Effects of Dual-Tasks on Spatial-Temporal Parameters of Gait in Older Adults With Impaired Balance
Sālmand, 2016 Objectives: The study of spatial-temporal parameters and their changes in walking with dual tasks, symmetry in right and left legs functions as well as changes in these parameters have received scant attention from researchers.
