Popis: | Patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) exhibit impaired dual-task (DT) performance. A recent meta-analysis confirmed that dual tasking severely affects walking performance in PD patients. However, one report indicated that a cycling DT paradigm has facilitative effects on cognition. We investigated the effects of dual tasking by using walking and cycling as motor tasks and revealed the clinical determinants associated with DT performance. Twenty-seven eligible participants were enrolled for clinical, cognitive-walking, and cognitive-cycling DT paradigm investigations. The mean age and age at onset of the patients were 59.87 ± 6.3 and 53.11 ± 8.4 years, respectively. Both the off- and on-state akinesia subscores were worse on the more-affected side than on the less-affected side. However, the DT effects on the cycling and gait outcomes on both the more-affected and the less-affected side showed no significant differences. The DT effect on the two motor tasks and cognitive performance during a concurrent walking task declined. Nevertheless, the DT effect on cognition improved during cycling. The present study also revealed that the levodopa equivalent daily dosage was highly associated with cognitive-cycling performance and that the akinesia subscore was the most relevant factor that contributed to cognitive-walking performance. In conclusion, DT facilitation or interference might be mediated by the type of motor task applied. The cognitive-cycling DT paradigm had a facilitative effect on cognition. Cycling exercise may diminish motor dysfunction has been investigated. We suggest that cognitive-cycling DT training is a potential adjuvant therapeutic strategy for patients with PD to promote motor and cognitive functions. |
