Background: This study aimed (1) to compare walking performance under single (ST) and dual-task (DT) conditions with varying cognitive tasks and degrees of difficulty, (2) to investigate the association of concerns about falling, depressive symptomatology, and psychological and physical well-being with ST and DT walking performance as well as cognitive and motor DT costs (cDTC; mDTC); and (3) to examine whether depressive symptomatology and well-being mediate or moderate the association between concerns about falling and DT performance in a large sample of German nursing home residents.
Methods: We analyzed data from a cross-sectional study with 449 ambulatory nursing home residents (mean age 84.1 ± 7.

Sport-related concussions can influence athletic performance and everyday function. We implemented a dual-task paradigm whereby perturbed reaching while standing was combined with a simple reaction-time task. The purpose was to explore how concussion history influences balance control with and without external arm perturbations under varying attentional demands.

The Motor Cognitive Dual-Task (MCDT) protocols have experienced a positive impact due to the increasing accessibility of new technologies for gait assessment. This study proposes the adoption of a novel hybrid system composed of wearable sensors and a Socially Assistive Robot (SAR) for gait assessment using MCDT protocols, i.e.

Well-established connections exist between increased gait variability and greater fall likelihood in human movement. Therefore, the assessment of gait symmetry can facilitate clinicians' decision-making in the treatment and evaluation of the progression of several diseases. This study proposed a workflow that used two self-developed inertial sensing measurement units (IMU) to collect the lower limb gait data of five subjects and then extracted the gait characteristic parameters to quantify the running process during a single-task condition and a dual-task condition, which requires additional cognitive loads (counting numbers backward).
