Cognitive-motor interaction in health and disability
… specific goals in mind. Traditionally, habitual motor tasks such as walking have been viewed as unrelated to the cognitive domain; however, there is growing evidence of cognitive-motor interaction (CMI), perhaps associated with the inability to allocate attentional resources during dual tasking …

Practice conditions leading to the acquisition of perceptual-cognitive-motor processing
… for skill acquisition and transfer of perceptual-cognitive-motor processes underlying dynamic and complex performance. The availability of visual and cognitive processes during practice was modulated to examine contribution of each process to the skill acquisition using a novel computer-based task …

Cognitive-Motor Integration In Normal Aging And Preclinical Alzheimer's Disease: Neural Correlates And Early Detection
… structural and functional neural correlates of cognitive-motor impairment in individuals at increased AD risk. The underlying hypothesis, based on previous research, is that measuring visuomotor integration under conditions that place demands on visual-spatial and cognitive-motor processing may …

Walking and talking in multiple sclerosis: an investigation of cognitive-motor dual tasking and clinical research portfolio
… the effects of performing a concurrent cognitive task when walking in MS and determine the effects of task demand on dual-task performance. Eighteen MS participants and 18 healthy controls took part. Participants completed walking and cognitive tasks under single and dual task …

The Effect of Concussion History on an On-Field Assessment of Cognitive-Motor Integration in Male and Female Varsity Athletes: Reliability of the HurtSHynes™ Test
… integration of cognition and action, cognitive-motor integration (CMI). Athletes with a history of concussion (HOC) exhibit performance deficits on CMI tasks. Here, we observed the effects of concussion history on a new CMI sideline assessment task, the HurtSHynes™ Test, in varsity …

Effect of Dual Tasking On Walking Over Even and Uneven Surfaces in Functionally Independent Community Older Adults
… upon the concurrent performance of a secondary cognitive and/or motor task in functionally independent-living-community older adults.</p> <p>Dynamic Gait Index assessed the subject’s ability to modify gait in response to changing task demands and Mini Mental State Examination was used to screen …

Robotic Assessment to Detect Neurological Impairments Associated with Transient Ischemic Attack
… disease, and stroke. Their ability to measure motor behaviour precisely and reliably makes them ideal candidates to understand how TIA affects behaviour, and differs from other clinical conditions. In this thesis, the Kinarm robotic assessment system is used to characterize neurological …

Sex-Related Differences in Visuomotor Skill Recovery Following Concussion in Working-Aged Adults
The performance of complex visuomotor tasks in which the guiding visual information does not align spatially with the required motor output is contingent on the brain's ability to integrate somatosensory information into an appropriate motor response. Performance on such "cognitive-motor …

Concussion Recovery and Skilled Performance in Working-Aged Adults: Sex Differences in the Neural Correlates of Persisting Symptoms After Concussion
Cognitive-motor integration (CMI) refers to the ability to follow rules that guide perception and action. Following a concussion, CMI neural networks are often disrupted, impairing complex movement. We previously identified links between white matter integrity and visuomotor performance in …

The Effects of Mild Concussions and Pomegranates on Behavior
… can accumulate, leading to the development of motor and cognitive deficits. Although there are currently no treatments that can restore lost function after repetitive concussion, our laboratory has shown that dietary supplementation with pomegranate polyphenols can improve Alzheimer’s-like …

Effects of aerobic fitness on dual task walking in older adults
… higher aerobic fitness levels leads to better cognitive performance and increases in the oxygenation of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) (i.e., increase in PFC activation patterns). Unfortunately, it is unknown how aerobic fitness levels can affect these measures while dual-task walking. …

Exercício aquático com dupla-tarefa para pacientes com doença de Parkinson avançada
… effect of 4 weeks of aquatic walking with dual-motor task on motor function of severe Parkinson Disease patients. Method: Twelve PD patients were divided into exercise (EG=7) and control (CG=5) groups. The EG completed 12 sessions of 30 min walking into deep water while executing dual-task, at …

Unravelling the molecular mechanisms of HIV associated neurocognitive disorders through mass spectrometry-based proteomics
… 1 (HIV)-positive individuals are affected by the cognitive, motor and behavioural dysfunction that characterises HIV associated neurocognitive disorders. While the molecular aetiology of this important HIV complication remains largely uncharacterised, HIV transactivator of transcription (HIV-Tat) …

Source localization of MEG generation using spatio-temporal Kalman filter
… field recorded on the scalp as subjects execute cognitive, motor and/or sensory tasks. Given a forward model which describes how the signals emanate from the brain sources, a standard approach for estimating the MEG sources from scalp measurements is to use regularized least squares approaches …

Fall Prevention Strategies for Home-dwelling Older Adults Aged 65 and over with a Diagnosis of Dementia: A Scoping Review
… as they are at an increased risk because of cognitive impairment and physical frailty (Lach et al., 2017; Racey et al., 2021). Although fall prevention strategies have been extensively studied in older adults, little is known about how these strategies are tailored and implemented within …
