Evaluating the impact of task-sequencing on cognitive and motor performance in MS: PASAT and 3-minute walk test order effects
The findings suggest that the sequence of task administration does not significantly influence dual-task performance in the subgroup of PwMS focused on in the current work. Merely repeated single-task use of the PASAT leads to cognitive performance improvements, likely due to learning effects. These results indicate that, in clinical settings, test order may be of minor importance for dual-task conditions, if administered according to the procedure used in the current work.
