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:

Recording mobile EEG in an outdoor environment reveals cognitive-motor interference dependent on movement complexity
TL;DR: The results indicate that an increased movement complexity imposes a higher workload to the cognitive system, which, in turn, effectively reduces the availability of cognitive resources for the cognitive task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of dual-task elderly gait in fallers and non-fallers using wearable sensors
TL;DR: Wearable-sensor-based DT gait assessments could be used in point-of-care environments to identify gait deficits and decreased gait velocity and decreased acceleration standard deviations at the pelvis and shanks could represent compensatory gait strategies that maintain stability.

TL;DR: The data showed that the dysexecutive syndrome induces specific gait alterations in Alzheimer's disease patients and suggest that the gait worsens in the AD patients when the cognitive resources are stressed.

Intervention modalities for targeting cognitive-motor interference in individuals with neurodegenerative disease: a systematic review.
TL;DR: Preliminary evidence from interventions targeting cognitive-motor interference, both directly and indirectly, show promising results for improving CMI in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases.

TL;DR: Higher values of CoP displacements in medio-lateral and anterior-posterior directions for EDSG than CG were found and the entropy analysis showed lower value, pointing out the needing of E DSG to concentrate more attention on postural control, loosing complexity and reflecting a less automatizedPostural control.

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.

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.
