![]() In Parkinson’s disease (PD) specifically, gait impairments are well documented and show that during dual-task walking conditions, gait speed and step length decrease, while gait variability, and the number of freezing episodes increase. People with neurological disorders typically experience greater difficulties while dual-tasking compared to healthy controls. This act of dual-tasking is by definition conducted when two tasks with distinct goals are performed simultaneously. Thus, we can for the first time systematically show that people with PD can improve their dual-task ability through motor–cognitive training.Įveryday life requires us to perform tasks simultaneously and pay attention while doing so. The GRADE analysis revealed that the findings were based on high certainty evidence. ![]() ![]() Systematic searches were conducted in five databases and 11 studies with a total of 597 people (mean age: 68.9 years mean PD duration: 6.8 years) were included. This meta-analysis, therefore, aimed to establish the current evidence on the effects of motor–cognitive training on dual-task performance in PD. ![]() Motor–cognitive training in Parkinson’s disease (PD) can positively affect gait and balance, but whether motor–cognitive (dual-task) performance improves is unknown. ![]()
