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:

TL;DR: This study in older adults provides evidence for the existence of a (walking) situation-dependent change of prioritization and should be included as a potential factor contributing to gait and balance impairments, and increased fall risk in Older adults.
Journal ArticleDOI
Physical examination and diagnosis of dementia for video consultation.
TL;DR: The absence of a significant increase in stride time while dual-tasking in subjects with AD treated with galantamine suggests a galantamines-associated enhancement of the ability to adapt gait patterns to unexpected situations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of subcortical hyperintensities on dual-tasking in Alzheimer disease and aging.
TL;DR: The costs of dual-tasking in relation to SH severity in AD and normal controls and when assessed in terms of SH severity, the high-SH-AD group showed the largest decrement in DTC (P<0.01).

TL;DR: Preliminary evidence indicates that cerebral Aβ is associated with gait slowing on dual-tasking in healthy older adults, and dual-task costs on cognition were similar between groups.
Slip and Fall Risks: Pre-Slip Gait Contributions and Post-Slip Response Effects
TL;DR: The relationship between pre-slip gait characteristics and the magnitude of slips was explored for both younger and older adults as mentioned in this paper, and the relationship between slip responses, coupled with slip severity, determine fall or recovery outcomes.

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.
