Brain Connectivity During Walking and Obstacle Avoidance in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis and Healthy Controls: A Pilot EEG Study
This study investigated effective connectivity and hemispheric asymmetry in persons with multiple sclerosis (pwMS) compared to healthy controls (HC) during two walking conditions: walking alone and walking while avoiding unpredictable obstacles. Cognitive-motor interference (CMI) was analyzed using electroencephalography (EEG) across beta, alpha, and theta frequency bands. Directed functional connectivity was estimated using partial directed coherence (PDC) to assess differences in connectivity patterns between conditions and groups. In healthy controls, obstacle avoidance increased connectivity in motor and cognitive regions including left central (LC), left temporal (LT), and right frontal (RF) regions, p<0.0014.> $= -0.65$ ), indicating compensatory but inefficient neural engagement. These findings highlight disruptions in brain connectivity during motor-cognitive tasks in pwMS, with potential implications for designing targeted rehabilitation strategies to improve gait and neural efficiency.
