Cognitive motor interference (CMI) is a psychomotor phenomenon characterized by alterations in kinematic spatial-temporal parameters during concurrent cognitive and motor tasks (i.e. dual-tasking). Previous literature has demonstrated that cognitive-motor dual-tasking induces alterations gait parameters; however, the influence of CMI on spine reflexive motion has yet to be researched. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of cognitive-motor dual-tasking during unexpected spine loading, in particular focusing on paraspinal muscle responses and spine sub-regional kinematic responses. To do this, the spine was perturbed by unexpectedly dropping a 6.8 kg mass into the participants' hands during cognitive dual-task and control conditions. Intersegmental spine angles, paraspinal muscle onset latencies, baseline activations, and response magnitudes were measured. The results demonstrated that participants experienced greater spine flexion at all intersegmental levels during the cognitive dual-task condition compared to the control condition. Additionally, muscle onset latencies were significantly delayed in three of the four paraspinal muscles studied when performing the cognitive-motor dual-task. These results demonstrate that the additional cognitive load led to delayed muscle activation responses and subsequently greater intersegmental lumbar spine flexion in response to a sudden loading perturbation. This suggests that cognitive-motor dual-tasking may increase the risk of developing an acute spine injury under similar conditions.

Chronic non-specific neck pain (CNSNP) is a common condition and its relationship to the pain catastrophizing construct in terms of sensorimotor functions and dual task performance is not fully understood. We aimed to investigate the differences in sensorimotor integration, cervical sensorimotor control, and cognitive-motor dual tasking abilities between CNSNP patients (> 3 months) with high versus low catastrophizing tendencies and healthy controls. Ninety participants were recruited, 30 asymptomatic controls, and 60 patients with CNSNP; 30 scoring high (> 75th percentile) and 30 scoring low (< 25th percentile) on the pain catastrophizing scale (PCS).

Objective: Cognitive-motor dual-tasking training (CMDT) might improve limb function and motor performance in stroke patients. However, is there enough evidence to prove that it is more effective compared with conventional physical single-task training? This meta-analysis and Trial Sequential Analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of CMDT on balance and gait for treating hemiplegic stroke patients.

The "FitBrain" program: implementing exergaming & dual-task exercise programs in outpatient clinical settings.

Dual-task training and exergaming interventions are increasingly recognized for their potential to enhance cognitive, physical, and mood outcomes among older adults and individuals with neurological conditions. Despite this, clinical and community programs that use these interventions are limited in availability. This paper presents the "FitBrain" program, an outpatient clinical model that combines dual-task and exergaming interventions to promote cognitive and physical health.

Individuals with mild cognitive impairment that have high dual-task gait cost (≥20% slowing in gait speed while performing a cognitive brain demanding task), are three-fold more likely to progress to dementia. However, the cortical regions that may explain this association are unknown, which may identify potentially treatable areas. The aim of the current study is to investigate whether brain grey matter volume loss and motor cortex metabolite levels explain the association between dual-task cost and incident dementia in individuals with mild cognitive impairment.

Background: Parkinson's disease is primarily characterized by the degeneration of motor neurons, leading to significant impairments in movement. Initially, physical therapy was predominantly employed to address these motor issues through targeted rehabilitation exercises. However, recent research has indicated that cognitive training can enhance the quality of life for patients with Parkinson's.
