Dual-task and movement: a bibliometric study based on high-impact search engines

Abstract

The interest and impact of scientific productions on dual-task and movement in recent years have demonstrated the worldwide relevance of this topic, especially in neuroscience, neurorehabilitation, and cognitive stimulation. Therefore, this research aims to conduct a bibliometric study on the scientific production published on dual-task and movement in high-impact search engines in the last decade, from 2012 to 2022. Once classified and parceled out all the information, screening was carried out, obtaining a final sample of 175 articles. The main findings that emerge from the research reviewed highlight the great benefits that dual-tasking and movement have on humans, especially in older age. Despite this, it should be noted that recent studies focus on younger participants, most of whom are of school age. Hence, considering that this practice has been proven to be highly effective, it would be convenient to implement it in the educational field in order to determine whether it can improve the integral development of the human beings.
