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 …

Walking and talking in multiple sclerosis: an investigation of cognitive-motor dual tasking and clinical research portfolio
… 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 conditions. MS participants, compared to healthy controls, had greater decrements in …

The Influence of Dopaminergic Medication on Gait and Balance Automaticity and Nonlinear Regularity in Parkinson’s Disease
Dual-tasking studies have shown that gait and balance automaticity in Parkinson’s disease (PD) is significantly diminished. It is also well accepted that dopaminergic medication improves single-task gait and some aspects of balance. Yet, how dopaminergic medication influences gait and balance …

ASSOCIATION BETWEEN HEART FAILURE AND HAND SENSORIMOTOR FUNCTION
… capacity was quantified by delivering a dual-tasking paradigm and calculating the dual-tasking cost in constant pinch force tracking test and n-back test. Finally, the total walking distance in 6-minute walk test (6MWT) was measured to determine the severity of HF. While the level of …

Cognitive-motor interaction in health and disability
… to allocate attentional resources during dual tasking and/or damage within shared neural tracts of the brain. Inquiries into the manifestation, mechanisms and implications of CMI are ecologically relevant as we commonly perform tasks concurrently, such as walking and talking on a phone or …

The Effects of Concurrently Performing Balance and Cognitive Tasks Across the Life Span
A dual-task paradigm involving a primary sensorimotor task and a secondary cognitive task was used to examine the effect of age and task difficulty on the relationship between balance and cognition. We investigated twenty healthy children (mean age = 9.0 +/- 0.8), 20 young adults (mean age = 20.1 …

The effect of perturbation warning on attention switching abilities during dual-task performance in young and older adults
… switching abilities in older adults during dual-tasking. Fifteen young and 16 older adults performed a tracking task while recovering their balance from a support surface translation. For half of the trials, an auditory warning was presented to inform participants of the upcoming …

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 …

Sensory and Cognitive Influences on Oculomotor and Whole-body Coordination during Standing Turns
… We found that turn onset was delayed during dual-tasking, but eye and body coordination were unaffected. We conclude that oculomotor nystagmus during turning represents a crucial component of an automatic, subcortically generated motor synergy, the release of which is dependent on cortical …

Kineziterapijos ir skausmo neuromokslo edukacijos poveikis lėtinių skausmų valdyme: sisteminė literatūros apžvalga /
… 3. Physical exercise with playfulness and dual-tasking and socialization components, used in combination with neuroscience education, had the highest efficacy in chronic pain management.

Resource Allocation Using Touch And Audition
… three experiments used auditory shadowing as the dual task load. In the first and third experiments a target was placed to the left or right of the participant and the targeting cue (either tactile, auditory, or combined) used to locate the target originated from the side on which the target was …

Self-paced treadmill as a rehabilitation tool for recovering functional gait in people with stroke
… such as speed adaptation, obstacle avoidance and dual tasking which are essential components of successful independent community walking. The electrical activity of muscles (electromyograms) can reveal the underlying motor control strategy employed when walking in different contexts, for example …

The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on dual-task walking in Parkinson's disease
… If eligible, participants will undergo a dual task assessment and a freezing of gait (FOG) provoking protocol prior to, as well as immediately after, a 20-minute session of tDCS. The acute effects of each stimulation session will be observed. There will be three different stimulation …

Behavioral and Physiological Measures of Driving Across the Spectrum of Alzheimer’s Disease
… attending to two tasks at the same time (dual tasking). With the advent of automated vehicle (AV) technology, there are new opportunities to potentially prolong mobility and independence in individuals with preclinical AD or CI. While highly AV technology that requires no interaction …
