abstract="Previous studies suggest that strategies such as &quot;posture first&quot; are implicitly employed to regulate safety when healthy adults walk while simultaneously performing another task, whereas &quot;posture second&quot; may be inappropriately applied in the presence of neurological disease. However, recent understandings raise questions about the traditional resource allocation concept during walking while dual tasking. We propose a task prioritization model of walking while dual tasking that integrates motor and cognitive capabilities, focusing on postural reserve, hazard estimation, and other individual intrinsic factors. The proposed prioritization model provides a theoretical foundation for future studies and a framework for the development of interventions designed to reduce the profound negative impacts of dual tasking on gait and fall risk in patients with neurological diseases. © 2012 Movement Disorder Society.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
