One of the challenges regarding human motor control is making the movement fluid and at a limited cognitive cost. The coordination between posture and movement is a necessary requirement to perform daily life tasks. The ...

Freezing of gait (FoG) is associated with less automatic gait and more impaired cognition, balance and postural transitions compared to people with PD who do not have FoG. However, it is unknown whether dual-task cost ...

The use of the dual-task model as a cognitive-motor interface has been extensively investigated in cross-sectional studies as a training task in cognitive impairment. However, few existing longitudinal studies prove the ...

The simultaneous execution of two different tasks is associated with interference processes that produce a decrease in the performance of one or both duties, a common phenomenon whose neural mechanisms are not yet understood. ...

Background: Patients with neurodegenerative diseases usually experience significant functional deficits. Older adults with Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) may suffer from both motor and cognitive ...

BACKGROUND: People with Parkinson's disease (PD) do not differ from neurologically healthy individuals in obstacle circumvention during walking, therefore they are able to use visual feedback adequately to control motor ...
