Postural control in persons with multiple sclerosis: an investigation of dual task cost and physical modeling
… during standing while performing a cognitive task. This study included persons with MS with varying levels of disability. It was hypothesized that the persons with higher disability would show a greater difference between the two testing conditions (quiet and dual task) than the persons with …

Effects of aerobic fitness on dual task walking in older adults
… fitness levels can affect these measures while dual-task walking. Additionally, the relationship between aerobic fitness levels and cognitive motor interference (CMI), which is a direct of measure of dual-task performance related to falls in older adults, has not been examined. It is important …

Cognition and Motor Function: A Novel Outcome Measure for Studies on Pre-Dementia Syndromes
… measure with assessments of gait velocity and dual-task cost. The responsiveness of the PI to baseline discrimination between older adults with normal cognition, Subjective Cognitive Impairment, and MCI was similar to the ADAS-Cog-Proxy. The PI demonstrated greater responsiveness than the …

Interférence cognitivo-motrice chez les personnes atteintes de sclérose en plaques
… to evaluate this interaction by using the dual-task paradigm (DT). Few studies have examined the effect of DT through the dual task cost (DTC) in people with MS. Specifically, the objectives of this thesis were to 1) determine the DTC of two tasks under different postural conditions in …

Dual-task Performance Involving Grip Force Control in Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
… The primary aim of this study was to assess dual-task costs (DTC) in older adults with T2D through tasks involving attention and precision grip force control. The level of attention given to a task may depend on how rested an individual is, and rest is mainly obtained through sleep. Studies …

Effect of Dual Tasking On Walking Over Even and Uneven Surfaces in Functionally Independent Community Older Adults
… while walking and concurrently performing a dual task on even surfaces, to date the effects of dual tasking while walking on uneven surfaces commonly found in the community has received less attention. Thus, we sought to test the hypothesis that an incremental decrement in gait parameters …
