Reliability of voluntary step execution behavior under single and dual task conditions

The effect of a cognitive-motor intervention on voluntary step execution under single and dual task conditions in older adults: a randomized controlled pilot study

BACKGROUND This randomized controlled pilot study aimed to explore whether a cognitive-motor exercise program that combines traditional physical exercise with dance video gaming can improve the voluntary stepping responses of older adults under attention demanding dual task conditions. METHODS Elderly subjects received twice weekly cognitive-motor exercise that included progressive strength a...

The relation between the type A behavior pattern, pacing, and subjective workload under single- and dual-task conditions.

Mooring Line Reliability Analysis of Single Point Mooring (SPM) System under Extreme Wave and Current Conditions

Single Point Mooring (SPM) is a type of offshore facility that is used for the loading and unloading of oil and gas tankers in the sea. In Iran, it is briefly called “floating buoy”. The present study discussed floating type, fixed to the seabed with mooring chain. The mooring chain of SPM, which is considered one of the important parameters of its design, will be evaluated with reg...

The effect of a cognitive task on voluntary step execution in healthy elderly and young individuals.

OBJECTIVES To investigate voluntary step behavior of healthy elderly individuals during single- and dual-task conditions and to compare it with those of young subjects. DESIGN Laboratory-based study. SETTING Tests of healthy elderly and young individuals from senior community centers and from the university population in Boston, Massachusetts. PARTICIPANTS Sixty-six elderly and 12 young s...

Attentional Demands of Balance Under Dual Task Conditions in Young Adults

Objectives: The aim of this study was to identify the role of attentional process in postural control using choice reaction time task while changing the visual and proprioceptive cues under difficult balance task (standing on one-leg). Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by participating 20 young people (22.75±2.29). Each subject performed one-leg standing as balance task for e...
