The Influence of Cognitive Dual Tasking on the Outcomes of the Triple Hop Test Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction involves prolonged rehabilitation, with Return to Sport (RTS) as a key goal for athletes. Integrating Dual Task (DT) strategies, which combine cognitive and physical tasks, is critical, as multitasking mirrors real-world and sports-specific demands. Assessing how distractions affect performance is essential to optimize RTS outcomes for both the reconstructed and healthy limbs.

Dual tasking affects gait performance but not automaticity in functional gait disorders: A new diagnostic biomarker.

Introduction: Functional gait disorders (FGDs) are disabling symptoms of Functional Motor Disorders. Clinical observations show improvement with distraction suggesting an association with higher-level control mechanisms. Dual tasking is a valuable tool for exploring the interplay between gait and cognition.
