“…Hence produces greater instability than the normal stair descent. This increased value of time taken and OSPS score in secondary motor task is similar to the findings of the study by Yadav M et al 17 .…”

“…And the secondary tasks were more complex and less familiar than the primary task, so the participants required higher attention resources to descend stairs with secondary tasks. And a large proportion of attention was directed towards the secondary tasks at the expense of the performance of stair descent 17 . Thus the results of this study show similarities and differences with other studies conducted on patients with idiopathic Parkinson's disease.…”

In people with Parkinson's disease (PD), dual tasking is difficult because of the impaired motor functions of the basal ganglia. It causes postural instability, reduction in gait speed, decreased stride length, increased festination and freezing. So it can also influence performance on stair ambulation. This creates a need to study the effect of dual tasks on stair ambulation, especially stair descent. 30 subjects were selected from various hospitals in Delhi. After taking the informed consent, the subjects were made to descend down the stairs under two conditions: stairs descent only and stairs descent with secondary motor task. The time taken in both the activities was recorded along with the scores on Observational Stair Parameter Scoring System (OSPS). Time taken by the subjects and the scores on OSPS for performing secondary task was more than the normal stair descent. The performance of stair descent with secondary task became more difficult than descent without the secondary task.

Background: In people with Parkinson's disease (PD), dual tasking is difficult because of the impaired motor functions of the basal ganglia. It causes postural instability, reduction in gait speed, decreased stride length, increased festination and freezing. So it can also influence performance on stair ambulation. Objective: To study the effect of dual tasks on stair descent. Methods: 30 subjects were selected from various hospitals in Delhi. After taking the informed consent, the subjects were made to descend down the stairs under two conditions: stair descent only and stairs descent with secondary cognitive task. The time taken in both the activities was recorded along with the scores on Observational Stair Parameter Scoring System (OSPS). Results: Mean Time taken by the subjects was 10.63±7.199 seconds in stair descent only and 24.57±15.076 seconds in stair descent with secondary cognitive task. And mean value of the OSPS score was 3.60±1.632 in stair descent only and 5.60±1.522 in stair descent with secondary cogn itive task. Conclusion:The performance of stair descent with secondary task became more difficult than descent without the secondary task.
