Interaction between cognition, motor function, and functional disability in older adults with Alzheimer's disease

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by progressive cognitive decline that compromises functionality and social participation. Although cognitive impairment is considered the main determinant of functional disability, motor alterations may also contribute to this process. However, how cognition and mot...

Clinical and psychosocial determinants of functional disability in people with Parkinson’s disease: evidence based on World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS 2.0)

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor and non-motor symptoms that impair daily activities and social participation. Understanding functional disability in individuals with PD requires a comprehensive approach that considers clinical, functional, and psychosocial factors. Although the progressio...

The commitment to dual-task walking is not linear with the progression of Parkinson's disease

Background: Parkinson’s disease (PD) impairs gait automaticity, particularly under dual-task (DT) conditions. Although DT gait is widely used as a marker of cognitive-motor interference in PD, it remains unclear whether DT costs are associated with the clinical progression of the disease. Objective: To investigate whet...

Immediate repetition does not reduce dual-task gait costs in Parkinson’s disease

Background: Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by motor and cognitive impairments that compromise gait automaticity in dual-task (DT) situations. One of the main manifestations of PD is gait disturbance, one of the most disabling motor symptoms, including difficulty performing gait...

A brief clinical test battery for functional assessment in Parkinson’s disease

Background: Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disorder characterized by motor and non-motor impairments that significantly affect functional independence in activities of daily living (ADLs). Accurate assessment of functional disability is essential for guiding clinical decision-making and rehabilita...

Aging and dual-task walking: evidence of reduced motor automaticity independent of cognitive cost

Background: Aging involves structural and functional changes in the central nervous system, affecting frontoparietal networks and cortico-subcortical circuits related to executive control and motor planning. Although gait is often considered predominantly motor, it relies on the integration of motor and cognitive syste...

Integrating a biopsychosocial perspective: WHODAS 2.0 enhances functioning assessment in Parkinson's disease.

Functioning is a critical health indicator alongside mortality and morbidity, yet it remains under-assessed in Parkinson's disease (PD), where symptom-based scales predominate. Identifying functional limitations across multiple domains is essential to improve care and guide tailored interventions. The World Health Orga...
