“…The groups were subjected to five motor tasks and, subsequently, a cognitive task was associated with each of them. They verified worse performance in the time for carrying out DT for the PD group in comparison to the group of healthy older adults, signaling the negative interference of PD in performing DT and the importance of introducing activities that involve DT in the rehabilitation of PD 7 . In this sense, for verifying the impact of DT on stability and postural control, studies have compared the balance between healthy subjects and with PD in simple conditions and DT condition with EO and EC, in two-feet support.…”

“…In addition, individuals with PD have difficulty in automatizing movements, which increases their attentional demand during daily activities and generates difficulties in associating a cognitive task with a motor task (dual task) simultaneously, which depends on cognitive processes involving executive function, attention, and memory [4][5][6] . Thus, it is important that dual tasks (DT) are included in the evaluations and therapeutic procedures of these patients, since these are a prerequisite for the performance of various tasks of their daily life 7 .…”

“…Com o processo do envelhecimento, as doenças neurodegenerativas tornam-se frequentes, sendo o Alzheimer a mais prevalente, enquanto que a doença de Parkinson (DP) é a segunda mais comum a afetar pessoas com 60 anos ou mais (FLORIANO et al, 2015). Há indícios que até 2050 os casos de DP irão duplicar no mundo (FLORIANO et al, 2015). Estudos apresentam que o envelhecimento é o principal fator de risco para a DP (RODRIGUEZ et al, 2015;COLLIER;KANAAN;KORDOWER, 2017).…”

o passo que distúrbios de movimento são reconhecidos na doença de Parkinson (DP), os fatores neurais relacionados à doença integrados ao envelhecimento são menos compreendidos. O objetivo desta revisão narrativa foi analisar os principais mecanismos neurais envolvidos na redução da força em idosos com DP e verificar o papel da caminhada nórdica (CN) na estrutura e função muscular em pessoas com DP. Uma pesquisa bibliográfica foi realizada nas bases Lilacs, PubMed e SciELO com os descritores: aging, Parkinson disease, muscle, neuromuscular disease e nervous system. Limitou-se a artigos em inglês e português de 1997 a 2018. Foram encontrados 573 artigos, foram selecionados 53 artigos, foram usados 15, e 8 foram incluídos através de buscas manuais. A fraqueza muscular em idosos com DP dá-se pelas alterações centrais da DP associadas às alterações neurais provenientes do envelhecimento. A CN e dança podem auxiliar na melhora intrínseca de pessoas com DP. No entanto, a literatura é escassa quando se trata deste assunto. Com isso, são necessários estudos que abordem análises cinéticas e cinemáticas após a prática de CN e dança em pessoas com DP.

“…Many activities in daily life require individuals to perform more than one task at the same time, which is called dual-tasking. Adequate balance, coordination, attention, and judgment are required while performing dual-tasks, which require the motor and cognitive systems to work together [ 1 ]. Most falls in older people are associated with decreased dual-task performance [ 2 ].…”

Background The Timed Up and Go (TUG) test is a simple and widely used clinical test for the assessment of lower extremity function, balance, mobility, and fall risk in various populations. The TUG has been found as a valid and reliable measure in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Besides, the addition of a cognitive task to the TUG (TUG-cognitive) enhances predictive validity related to fall risk in people with PD. However, further investigation is needed about the correlations of the TUG-cognitive test with neuropsychological measures in people with PD. Methods Thirty-three people with PD [modified Hoehn and Yahr scale, median (min-max)=2.5 (1.0-3.0)] participated in this cross-sectional study. The TUG was administered in the traditional way and with a cognitive task (counting backward by three from any number between 20 and 100). Neuropsychological measures included the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Trail Making Test (TMT), and the Simple Reaction Time (SRT) test for stepping. The self-reported number of falls in the last six months was also recorded. Results The TUG-cognitive [13.1 (SD=8.5) seconds] was significantly longer than the TUG-traditional [12.2 (SD=8.1) seconds] (p<0.01). The TUG-cognitive significantly correlated with the MoCA [(rho=-0.712), TMT part A (TMT-A; rho=0.722), TMT part B (TMT-B; rho=0.694), SRT (rho=0.794), and number of falls (rho=0.960)] (p<0.01). The TUG-traditional also significantly correlated with the MoCA (rho=-0.682), TMT-A (rho=0.684), TMT-B (rho=0.746), SRT (rho=0.755), and number of falls (rho=0.702) (p<0.01). Conclusion Both the TUG-cognitive and TUG-traditional strongly correlated with neuropsychological measures; while the correlations were slightly stronger for the TUG-cognitive, the difference was not significant. The TUG-cognitive can be used in the clinical practice as a simple and more informative alternative to the TUG-traditional in people with PD.
