Motor–cognitive interactions in older adults: reliability and comparison of Trail Walking and Stepping Trail Making Tests
The S-TMT and TWT are reliable and complimentary tools for assessing motor-cognitive interactions in older adults. The S-TMT is suitable for single assessment as learning effects limits short-time re-testing, whereas the TWT seems more appropriate for repeated testing. Further studies should validate these results across diverse populations and explore their predictive value for long-term outcomes.
