Cognitive-motor interference in multiple sclerosis revisited: a dual-task paradigm using wearable inertial sensors and the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test
The findings confirm that dual-task conditions exacerbate gait impairments in PwMS, particularly in those with lower cognitive performance. The use of PASAT as a dual-task cognitive challenge was feasible and had a considerable influence on gait. Results support the capacity sharing theory, suggesting that limited cognitive resources are redistributed between tasks under dual-task conditions.
