Abstract:

Younger adults who are walking and doing additional tasks at the same time may not realize if their performance suffers, putting some at greater risk for injury and impairment during certain tasks. This thesis has addressed this confound by developing a divided attention paradigm focusing on discrete and continuous demand manipulations. The work assessed in motorcognitive processing changes with cerebral and behavioral monitoring of over-ground walking with or without cognitive tasks. Participants (n = 19, 18-35 years, 13 females) were asked to walk at their usual pace [usual walking cond

Abstract:

Introduction: The prefrontal cortex (PFC) is highly susceptible to age-related deterioration. As such, executive function deficits are commonly observed when older adults process two attention-demanding tasks simultaneously. Everyday tasks such as walking and talking on the phone involve executive functions and the integration of cognitive-motor pathways. However, less is known about this relationship as cognitive demands increase. Methods: Twenty healthy older adults (M = 71.8 years, SD = 6.4) performed four auditory cognitive tasks of increasing demand, including a simple reaction time (SRT

Abstract:

Impaired gait dynamics are associated with increased falls risk, and are worse in cognitively impaired older adults. Dual-tasking is the performance of a second task, cognitive or physical, while walking. Dual-tasking impairs gait in individuals with deficits in cognitive function. The aims of this thesis were to review the literature on dual-task costs on gait dynamics in adults with cognitive impairment, and to identify clinical characteristics associated with this cost in older adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or dementia. First, a systematic review of 25 articles that measured

Abstract:

BACKGROUND:Community ambulation is a highly complex skill requiring the ability to adapt to increased environmental complexity and perform multiple tasks simultaneously. After stroke, individuals demonstrate a diminished ability to perform dual-tasks. Current evidence suggests that conventional rehabilitation does not adequately address gait-related dual-task impairments after stroke, which may be contributing to low levels of participation and physical inactivity in community-dwelling stroke survivors. The objective of this study is to investigate the efficacy of dual-task gait training in co

Abstract:

Background: When people walk while performing a cognitive dual-task, a decrease in gait velocity will occur because of the demand for some of the same cognitive resources. However, in a previous study they found an increase instead of a decrease in gait velocity when subjects walked on a self-paced treadmill while performing a color-word Stroop task. Aim: The aim of this study was to determine if the increase found in gait velocity in the previous study was a consequence of the subjects’ position. Additionally, it was investigated whether real-time feedback about the subjects’ position could s

Abstract:

Gait disturbances such as slow walking speed and step-to-step variability have been reported among people with mild Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and as risk factors for functional decline, dependency, and falls. Additionally, AD-related emotional reactions and decreased initiative can lead to physical inactivity. The aims of this thesis, therefore, were to explore how the ability to be physically active is affected in the early years of AD, and how people with mild AD and their cohabitants reason about physical activity as part of their everyday life. To meet the aims, an approach inspired by mixe

Abstract:

Background Limitations in mobility resulting from balance impairments contribute substantially to falls in older adults. Aging also has a detrimental effect on cognition which influences mobility and balance. A low cost treadmill rehabilitation platform (TRP) and a custom computer game that provided single and dual task challenges while standing and walking were used to evaluate standing balance, gait variables, visual tracking and cognition game performances in active young and older adults.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common debilitating disorder that largely effects the aging population. It is associated with a loss of dopamine-producing brain cells, which leads to abnormal brain activity and ultimately, a loss of locomotor control. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technology that effectively modulates brain excitability by sending low electric current through the scalp. It has been demonstrated to improve working memory, intelligence, learning ability, as well as relieving symptoms of depression, Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia (Kekic, Boysen, Cam

The present study validates the Treadmill Rehabilitation Platform (TRP) protocol that assessed standing balance performance; spatial and temporal gait variability; stability measures and visual spatial cognitive task performances. Healthy individuals (mean age = 61.4± 4.4 years; n = 30) performed tasks from the TRP protocol while standing and while walking on treadmill. Moderate to High test retest reliability was observed for the TRP tool measures with a few exceptions. Standing balance decreased significantly as visual task load increased.

Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) demonstrate gait impairments which are even exacerbated during dual task walking. The cognitive dual task and motor dual task affect gait performance in patients with PD, including step length, gait speed, cadence and stride variability. Especially, the cognitive dual task increased the freezing episodes in patients with PD. Motor dual task gait training can improve the gait per

Abstract:

A growing body of literature suggests that aging causes restrictions in mobility, gaze, and cognitive functions, increasing the risk of falls and adverse health events. A novel Dual-Task Treadmill walking (DT-TW) program was designed to train balance, gaze, cognition, and gait simultaneously. Eleven healthy community-dwelling older adults (age 70-80 yrs) were recruited to play a variety of computer games while standing on a sponge surface and walking on a treadmill.

Abstract:

Background: Dementia and falls are significant causes of disability among older people. Identifying people at risk of dementia and falls is an international priority to prevent the rising burden of these syndromes. Gait is a robust marker of functional independence. Poorer gait performance precedes dementia symptoms and is associated with greater risks of falls. Therefore, gait could be a useful functional marker to identify people at risk of dementia and falls from an early stage. Gait speed is a strong indicator of overall health of a person and has received ample attention in the litera
