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:

White matter hyperintensities and impaired choice stepping reaction time in older people
Jacqueline J. J. Zheng,Kim Delbaere,Kim Delbaere,Jacqueline C. T. Close,Perminder S. Sachdev,Wei Wen,Stephen R. Lord +6 more
TL;DR: The conclusion was that WMHs are associated with slowed performance on a dual task CSRT task and this relationship is explained primarily by underlying neuropsychological impairments.

TL;DR: It is proposed that people of all ages should incorporate the “right to move” into their life style, thereby maximizing the potential to maintain health and well-being in a cost-effective, optimally influential manner.

The performance of stroke survivors in turning-while-walking while carrying out a concurrent cognitive task compared with controls.
Wing-nga Chan,William W.N. Tsang +1 more
TL;DR: The results show that stroke survivors with high mobility function performed the auditory Stroop test less accurately while preserving simultaneous turning-while-walking performance, and demonstrated poorer performance in both single-tasking and dual-Tasking as compared with controls.

Using a dual‐task paradigm to investigate motor and cognitive performance in children with intellectual disability
TL;DR: DT constraints with a secondary motor or cognitive tasks seemed challenging for children with intellectual disability suggesting that future treatments or assessments should consider using DT constraints to manipulate the difficulty of tasks.

Prevalence of Falls, Physical Performance, and Dual-Task Cost While Walking in Older Adults at High Risk of Falling with and Without Cognitive Impairment
Fuzhong Li,Peter Harmer +1 more
TL;DR: Older adults at high risk of falling and who have cognitive impairment are associated with a greater risk for falls and decrements in physical and dual-task performance.

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.

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.
