“…Previous studies showed a higher activation in prefrontal cortex during obstacle negotiation in comparison to no obstacle in the gait in young and older adults [39] and PwPD [37]. Even in young healthy individuals the performance level in TUG declined under DT conditions [57]. Taken together, this evidence corroborate that more complex gait conditions demand more cognitive resources and, therefore, are more sensitive to assess gait automaticity than only walking.…”

Objective: To investigate the use of the Goalkeeper Game (GG) to assess gait automaticity decline under dual task conditions in people with Parkinson's disease (PPD) and compare its predictive power with the one of the MoCA test.Materials and Methods: 74 PPD (H&Y stages: 23 in stage 1; 31 in stage 2; 20 in stage 3), without dementia (MoCA cut-off 23), tested in ON period with dopaminergic medication were submitted to single individual cognitive/motor evaluation sessions. The tests applied were: MoCA, GG, dynamic gait index (DGI) task and timed up and go test (TUG) under single and dual-task (DT) conditions. GG test resulted in 9 measures extracted via a statistical model. The predictive power of the GG measures and the MoCA score with respect to gait performance, as assessed by DGI and DT-TUG, were compared. Results:The predictive models based on GG measures and MoCA score obtained, respectively, sensitivities of 65% and 56% for DGI scores and 59% and 57% for DT-TUG cost at a 50% specificity. GG application proved to be feasible and aroused more motivation in PPDs than MoCa.Conclusion: GG, a friendly and ludic game, was able to reach a good power of gait performance prediction in people at initial and intermediate stages of PD evolution.

“…Regarding within groups differences between DT and ST, our study showed that only in 10-step stair test in fibromyalgia patients physical performance was significantly reduced by DT interference. Previous studies have reported that DT diminished physical performance in both healthy [31] and chronic pain patients. [32] Our results are consistent with those observed by de Gier et al [14] who observed physical performance reduction caused by adding a secondary task.…”

Impact of adding a cognitive task while performing physical fitness tests in women with fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia symptoms cause a significant reduction in the ability to perform daily life activities. These activities often require the ability to perform more than 1 task at the same time.The aim was to investigate how the addition of a cognitive task modifies the performance in physical fitness tests in fibromyalgia and healthy controls.A total of 61 women participated in this study, 31 of them diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a rheumatologist. They performed 3 physical fitness tests (arm curl, handgrip, and 10-steps stair tests) in 2 conditions:a) regular (single task [ST]) andb) while thinking in 3 words that were given before each test and had to be recalled and verbalized after the execution of each test (dual task).The dual task cost was calculated as the difference between the performances in the regular and dual-task (DT) conditions.Healthy controls obtained significantly better results than fibromyalgia in both, dual and single-task conditions. Women with fibromyalgia significantly decreased the performance in the 10-steps stair test when a cognitive task was added. Between-group differences in the dual-task costs (DTC) were not found.Women with fibromyalgia showed lower physical performance than healthy controls in both, single and dual task conditions. In addition, differences between single and dual task conditions were observed in the 10-steps stair test in women with fibromyalgia. This could be related with a reduction in the ability to perform daily life activities. However, results regarding DTC indicate that both groups may be similarly influenced by the addition of a secondary cognitive. Thus, further research with different difficulty levels of DT conditions is needed in fibromyalgia.

“…Regarding DT, which is relevant because in our daily life we usually perform several tasks at the same time [46], we found that the number of repetitions in 30sCST-DT was lower than in 30sCST (total, men, and women). An explication for this is that participants put their attention into the cognitive task and consequently, the motor task became worst [47]. No studies were found about DT performance in the T2DM population.…”

Background: Reliability refers to the precision of an assessment, so it is a critical topic to take the right decisions related to health management. People usually perform several tasks at the same time in their daily life. The aim of this study was to examine the reliability of the 30-s chair stand test in people with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) with test–retest, with and without dual-task (motor + cognitive task). Methods: Twenty-six subjects with T2DM and 30 subjects without T2DM performed the 30-s Chair Stand Test (30sCST) in which they must sit and stand as many times as possible in 30 s. They performed the test in the usual way (30sCST) and also with an additional cognitive task (30sCST-DT). A retest was conducted 7–14 days later. Results: Relative reliability was excellent in both groups (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9). In 30sCST-DT, relative reliability was high in the T2DM group (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.7) and excellent in subjects without T2DM (intraclass correlation coefficient > 0.9). Conclusions: The 30sCST and the 30sCST-DT tests are reliable tools for people with T2DM to measure changes after an intervention. The smallest real difference was 15% and 20% upper in the T2DM group in the 30sCST and 30sCST-DT tests, respectively.
