TLDR
New clinical assessment methods incorporating dual-task paradigms are helpful in revealing the effect of disease on the ability to allocate attention to postural tasks and appear to be sensitive measures in both predicting fall risk and in documenting recovery of stability.About:

Interpersonal Couplings in Human Interactions
Kevin Shockley,Michael A. Riley +1 more
TL;DR: A review of current behavioral, cognitive, and physiological research that has used recurrence methods to quantify interpersonal coupling can be found in this paper, with a focus on dance, conversation, and team sports.
Journal ArticleDOI
Falls Risk and Simulated Driving Performance in Older Adults
TL;DR: This study examined whether falls risk was associated with driving performance in a high-fidelity simulator and suggested that attentional differences between high and low falls risk older adults extend to simulated driving performance.

Neuropsychological Correlates of Pre-Frailty in Neurocognitive Disorders: A Possible Role for Metacognitive Dysfunction and Mood Changes
Martina Amanzio,Sara Palermo,Milena Zucca,Rosalba Rosato,Elisa Rubino,Daniela Leotta,Massimo Bartoli,Innocenzo Rainero +7 more
TL;DR: A significant association between frailty—as measured by the multidimensional prognostic index (MPI)—and action monitoring and monetary gain (cognitive domain), depression and disinhibition (behavioural domain) exists and a novel framework for understanding frailty associated with metacognitive–executive dysfunction is proposed.

Attention and postural control in patients with conversion paresis
John F. Stins,C. (Lianne) A. Kempe,Muriel A. Hagenaars,Peter J. Beek,Peter J. Beek,Karin Roelofs +5 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that attention plays a crucial role in postural control in CD, and patients seem to inadvertently use deliberate control of posture of an otherwise nearly automatized perceptuo-motor task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the effects of a visual or auditory Stroop task on dual-task costs during obstacle crossing
TL;DR: The hypothesis that structural interference has a larger effect on motor performance in a dual-task situation compared to cognitive tasks that pose interference at only the central processing stage is supported.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults using the Timed Up & Go Test.
TL;DR: The TUG is a sensitive and specific measure for identifying community-dwelling adults who are at risk for falls and the ability to predict falls is not enhanced by adding a secondary task when performing the TUG.

Motor Control: Theory and Practical Applications
TL;DR: This text bridges the gap between research/theory and practice by focusing on the scientific and experimental basis of new motor control theories by specifically illustrating how recent findings and theories can be applied to clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Stops walking when talking" as a predictor of falls in elderly people.
TL;DR: This investigation investigated the usefulness of the sign “stops walking when talking” in predicting falls and found that some frail elderly patients stop walking when they start a conversation with a walking companion, presumably because walking demands attention and they stop when they are expected to do two things at once.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effects of Two Types of Cognitive Tasks on Postural Stability in Older Adults With and Without a History of Falls
TL;DR: Results suggest that when postural stability is impaired, even relatively simple cognitive tasks can further impact balance and suggest that the allocation of attention during the performance of concurrent tasks is complex.
