Brain activity during dual-task standing in older adults
BackgroundIn older adults, the extent to which performing a cognitive task when standing diminishes postural control is predictive of future falls...

Placebo effect on gait: a way to reduce the dual-task cost in older adults
The ability to perform two tasks simultaneously is essential for daily activities. In older adults, this ability is markedly reduced, as evidenced by...

Walking (and talking) the plank: dual-task performance costs in a virtual balance-threatening environment
We evaluated the effects of engaging in extemporaneous speech in healthy young adults while they walked in a virtual environment meant to elicit low...

Effects of fixed versus variable task prioritization during short-term dual task practice on motor and cognitive task performance in young adults
ObjectiveIt has been shown that variable compared to fixed task prioritization during dual task practice more effectively improves motor (i.e.,...

Fully immersive virtual reality exergames with dual-task components for patients with Parkinson’s disease: a feasibility study
BackgroundDual-task training in Parkinson’s disease (PD) improves spatiotemporal gait parameters, cognition, and quality of life. Virtual reality...

Exploring the challenges of avoiding collisions with virtual pedestrians using a dual-task paradigm in individuals with chronic moderate to severe traumatic brain injury
BackgroundIndividuals with a moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (m/sTBI), despite experiencing good locomotor recovery six months post-injury,...

Change in activity patterns in the prefrontal cortex in different phases during the dual-task walking in older adults
BackgroundStudies using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) have shown that dual-task walking leads to greater prefrontal cortex (PFC)...

Comparison of dual-task costs during different types of walking in people with Parkinson’s disease: a controlled study
IntroductionMany of the activities in daily living require different walking skills such as straight walking (SW), walking with turning (WwT), curved...

Mental fatigue does not affect static balance under both single and dual task conditions in young adults
The ability to control balance and prevent falls while carrying out daily life activities may require a predominantly controlled (cognitive) or...

Dual-task improvement of older adults after treadmill walking combined with blood flow restriction of low occlusion pressure: the effect on the heart–brain axis
ObjectiveThis study explored the impact of one session of low-pressure leg blood flow restriction (BFR) during treadmill walking on dual-task...
-
Effect of cognitive task complexity on dual task postural stability: a systematic review and meta-analysis
The dual task experimental paradigm is used to probe the attentional requirements of postural control. However, findings of dual task postural...

Faces, English words and Chinese characters: a study of dual-task interference in mono-and bilingual speakers
The many-to-many hypothesis suggests that face and visual-word processing tasks share neural resources in the brain, even though they show opposing...
-
Dual task effect on upper and lower extremity skills in different stages of Parkinson’s disease
Background and purposeLoss of automaticity and deteriorated executive function give rise to dual task deficits in Parkinson’s disease (PD). This...

Impact of dual tasking on gaze behaviour and locomotor strategies adopted while circumventing virtual pedestrians during a collision avoidance task
We investigated gaze behaviour and collision avoidance strategies in 16 healthy young individuals walking towards a goal while exposed to virtual...

Slip** while counting: gaze–gait interactions during perturbed walking under dual-task conditions
Walking is a complex task. To prevent falls and injuries, gait needs to constantly adjust to the environment. This requires information from various...
-
Decreased automaticity contributes to dual task decrements in older compared to younger adults
PurposeTo contrast older and younger adults’ prefrontal cortex (PFC) neural activity (through changes in oxygenated hemoglobin) during single and...

Could direct and generative retrieval be two flips of the same coin? A dual-task paradigm study
Autobiographical memories are thought to be retrieved using two possible ways: a generative one, which is effortful and follows a general-to-specific...

Effects of alcohol hangover on attentional resources during a verbal memory/psychomotor tracking dual attention task
BackgroundAlcohol hangover (AH) is associated with impaired attention and memory performance. However, whether this effect is related to reduced...
-
Cognitive and motor task performance under single- and dual-task conditions: effects of consecutive versus concurrent practice
The concurrent execution of two or more tasks simultaneously results in performance decrements in one or both conducted tasks. The practice of...

Cognitive and visual task effects on gaze behaviour and gait of younger and older adults
Cognitive dual tasks alter gait of younger and older adults and recent research has demonstrated that they also influence gaze behaviour and standing...
