Abstract
Background
Multiple sclerosis can cause locomotor and cognitive impairments even at lower levels of disability, which can impact daily life. The cognitive-motor dual task is commonly used to assess everyday locomotion. Thus, this study aimed to examine the effect of cognitive-motor dual tasks on gait parameters among patients with multiple sclerosis in the early disease stages and to determine whether dual tasks could be used as a clinical test to detect locomotion impairments.
Methods
A systematic search of five databases was conducted in May 2024. The population of interest was patients with multiple sclerosis with an Expanded Disability Status Scale score of 4 or less. The following outcome measures were examined: spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters. The Newcastle–Ottawa Scale was used to assess the quality of the studies.
Findings
Eleven studies including 270 patients with multiple sclerosis and 221 healthy controls. Three spatiotemporal parameters were modified both in patients with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls during dual-task performance: gait speed, stride length and the double support phase. No spatiotemporal parameter was affected during dual-task performance in patients with multiple sclerosis alone.
Interpretation
Dual-task performance could be useful for assessing gait impairments in patients with multiple sclerosis provided that assessments and protocols are standardized. Nevertheless, the spatiotemporal parameters did not allow discrimination between patients with multiple sclerosis at an early stage and healthy controls. Three-dimensional gait analysis during dual-task performance could be a useful approach for detecting early gait impairments in patients with multiple sclerosis, assessing their progression and adjusting rehabilitation programs.
期刊介绍：
Clinical Biomechanics is an international multidisciplinary journal of biomechanics with a focus on medical and clinical applications of new knowledge in the field.
The science of biomechanics helps explain the causes of cell, tissue, organ and body system disorders, and supports clinicians in the diagnosis, prognosis and evaluation of treatment methods and technologies. Clinical Biomechanics aims to strengthen the links between laboratory and clinic by publishing cutting-edge biomechanics research which helps to explain the causes of injury and disease, and which provides evidence contributing to improved clinical management.
A rigorous peer review system is employed and every attempt is made to process and publish top-quality papers promptly.
Clinical Biomechanics explores all facets of body system, organ, tissue and cell biomechanics, with an emphasis on medical and clinical applications of the basic science aspects. The role of basic science is therefore recognized in a medical or clinical context. The readership of the journal closely reflects its multi-disciplinary contents, being a balance of scientists, engineers and clinicians.
The contents are in the form of research papers, brief reports, review papers and correspondence, whilst special interest issues and supplements are published from time to time.
Disciplines covered include biomechanics and mechanobiology at all scales, bioengineering and use of tissue engineering and biomaterials for clinical applications, biophysics, as well as biomechanical aspects of medical robotics, ergonomics, physical and occupational therapeutics and rehabilitation.
