Gait and cognition in Parkinson's disease: cognitive impairment is inadequately reflected by gait performance during dual task
Introduction Cognitive and gait deficits are common symptoms in Parkinson's disease (PD).
Motor-cognitive dual tasks (DTs) are used to explore the interplay between gait and
cognition. However, it is unclear if DT gait performance is indicative for cognitive impairment.
Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate if cognitive deficits are reflected by DT
costs of spatiotemporal gait parameters. Methods Cognitive function, single task (ST) and DT
gait performance were investigated in 67 PD patients. Cognition was assessed by the …
