Clinical and psychosocial determinants of functional disability in people with Parkinson’s disease: evidence based on World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0)

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that impair daily activities and social participation. Understanding functional disability in individuals with PD requires a comprehensive approach that considers clinical, functional, and psychosocial factors. Although the progressio...

The commitment to dual-task walking is not linear with the progression of Parkinson's disease

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) impairs gait automaticity, particularly under dual-task (DT) conditions. Although DT gait is widely used as a marker of cognitive-motor interference in PD, it remains unclear whether DT costs are associated with the clinical progression of the disease. Objective: To investigate whet...

Immediate repetition does not reduce dual-task gait costs in Parkinson’s disease

Background: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by motor and cognitive impairments that compromise gait automaticity in dual-task (DT) situations. One of the main manifestations of PD is gait disturbance, one of the most disabling motor symptoms, including difficulty performing gait...

Aging and dual-task walking: evidence of reduced motor automaticity independent of cognitive cost

Background: Aging involves structural and functional changes in the central nervous system, affecting frontoparietal networks and cortico-subcortical circuits related to executive control and motor planning. Although gait is often considered predominantly motor, it relies on the integration of motor and cognitive syste...
