Cognitive-motor dual-task training improves dynamic stability during straight and curved gait in patients with multiple sclerosis: a randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory, demyelinating, degenerative disease of the central nervous system and the second most frequent cause of permanent disability in young adults. One of the most common issues concerns the ability to perform postural and gait tasks while simultaneously completing a cognitive task (namely, dual-task DT).

Aim

Assessing cognitive-motor dual-task training effectiveness in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) for dynamic gait quality when walking on straight, curved, and blindfolded paths.

Design

Two-arm single-blind randomized controlled trial. Follow-up at 8 weeks.

Setting

Neurorehabilitation Hospital.

Population

A sample of 42 PwMS aged 28-71, with a score of 4.00±1.52 on the Expanded Disability
