Abstract

Background Functional ambulation requires concurrent performance of motor and cognitive tasks, which may create interference (degraded performance) in either or both tasks. People with essential tremor (ET) demonstrate impairments in gait and cognitive function. In this study we examined the extent of interference between gait and cognition in people with ET and controls during dual-task gait.Methods We tested 62 controls and 151 ET participants (age range: 72-102). ET participants were divided into two groups based on median score on the modified Mini Mental State Examination. Participants walked at their preferred speed, and performed a verbal fluency task while walking. We analyzed gait velocity, cadence, stride length, double support time, stride time, step width, step time difference, coefficient of variation (CV) of stride time and stride length.Results Verbal fluency performance during gait was similar across groups (p=0.68). Velocity, cadence and stride length were lowest whereas step time difference (p=0.003), double support time (p=0.009), stride time (p=0.002) and stride time CV (p=0.007) were highest for ET participants with lower cognitive scores (ETp-LCS), compared with ET participants with higher cognitive scores (ETp-HCS) and controls. ETp-LCS demonstrated greatest interference for double support time (p=0.005), step time difference (p=0.013) and stride time coefficient of variation (p=0.03).Conclusions ETp-LCS demonstrated high levels of cognitive motor interference. Gait impairments during complex tasks may increase risk for falls for this subgroup and underscore the importance of clinical assessment of gait under simple and dual-task conditions.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • ET plus syndrome may include mild to moderate gait ataxia, cognitive impairment, personality profile changes, and mood disturbances.

    “These accompanying neurological signs may include mild to moderate gait ataxia (3, 15–23), cognitive impairment (24, 25) as well as personality profile (26–28), and mood disturbances (29–31).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
