Abstract EN
Gait impairments in Parkinson's disease (PD) are exacerbated under dual-task conditions requiring the simultaneous performance of cognitive or motor tasks.
Dual-task walking deficits impact functional mobility, which often requires walking while performing concurrent tasks such as talking or carrying an object.
The consequences of gait impairments in PD are significant and include increased disability, increased fall risk, and reduced quality of life.
However, effective therapeutic interventions for dual-task walking deficits are limited.
The goals of this narrative review are to describe dual-task walking deficits in people with PD, to discuss motor and cognitive factors that may contribute to these deficits, to review potential mechanisms underlying dual-task deficits, and to discuss the effect of therapeutic interventions on dual-task walking deficits in persons with PD.
