Abstract
Background: Gait performance under dual-task (GPDT) condition has been considered an important factor to predict cognitive decline and risk of falls associated with balance and gait impairment in older people and patients with neurological disease, particularly Parkinson's disease. The reduction in dopamine levels in striate cortical circuits caused by PD compromises the gait automatic control by progressively limiting the ability to manage multi-tasks. However, it remains unclear what is the more efficient way to test gait performance in dual-task avoiding the influence of the learning.
