TLDR
It is suggested that cognitive tasks that involve internal interfering factors seem to disturb gait performance more than those involving external interfering factors and between the level of cognitive state and speed reduction under dual-task conditions.About:

Cognitive contributions to gait and falls: Evidence and implications
TL;DR: Evidence is summarized and synthesized that supports the role played by cognition in the control of gait and the implications deriving from the interplay between cognition and gait.

A review of dual-task walking deficits in people with Parkinson's disease: Motor and cognitive contributions, mechanisms, and clinical implications
TL;DR: The goals of this narrative review are to describe dual-task walking deficits in people with PD, to discuss motor and cognitive factors that may contribute to these deficits, to review potential mechanisms underlying dual- task deficits, and to discuss the effect of therapeutic interventions on dual- Task Walking deficits in persons with PD.

Age-Related Deficits of Dual-Task Walking: A Review
Rainer Beurskens,Otmar Bock +1 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis that it is difficult for seniors to coordinate two streams of visual information, one related to navigation through visually defined space, and the other to a visually demanding second task, predicts that interventions aimed at the efficiency of visuovisual coordination in the elderly will ameliorate their deficits in dual-task walking.

Measuring treatment effects on dual-task performance: a framework for research and clinical practice
Prudence Plummer,Gail A. Eskes +1 more
TL;DR: This perspective paper presents a framework for measuring treatment effects on dual-task interference, specifically taking into account the interactions between the two tasks and how this can provide information on whether overall dual- task capacity has improved or a different attentional strategy has been adopted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Moving Forward on Gait Measurement: Toward a More Refined Approach
TL;DR: This review draws on literature from Parkinson's disease, ageing, and neurodegenerative disease to address the issue of variable selection with the goal of moving toward a structured approach to measurement.

“Mini-mental state”: A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
Marshal F. Folstein,Marshal F. Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Susan E B Folstein,Paul R. McHugh,Paul R. McHugh +5 more
TL;DR: A simplified, scored form of the cognitive mental status examination, the “Mini-Mental State” (MMS) which includes eleven questions, requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
A practical method for grading the cognitive state of patients for the clinician
TL;DR: The Mini-Mental State (MMS) as mentioned in this paper is a simplified version of the standard WAIS with eleven questions and requires only 5-10 min to administer, and is therefore practical to use serially and routinely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring inconsistency in meta-analyses
TL;DR: A new quantity is developed, I 2, which the authors believe gives a better measure of the consistency between trials in a meta-analysis, which is susceptible to the number of trials included in the meta- analysis.

Chapter 11 Working memory
TL;DR: This chapter demonstrates the functional importance of dopamine to working memory function in several ways and demonstrates that a network of brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex, is critical for the active maintenance of internal representations.
