This study explored the effect of different dual-task (DT) training programs on DT interference in adults with intellectual disability. Center-of-pressure (CoP) mean velocity in single-task (ST) and cognitive-DT conditions and the Timed Up-and-Go Test (TUGT) during ST, cognitive-DT, and motor-DT conditions were assessed before and after intervention in a cognitive–motor training group, a motor–motor training group, and a control group. Before training, CoP mean velocity and TUGT time increased (p < .001) in DT compared with the ST condition. After training, the CoP mean velocity values remained unchanged (p = .07) in DT compared with the ST condition among the cognitive–motor training group. Furthermore, compared with the ST condition, no increase (p = 1) was reported in the TUGT time during the cognitive-DT condition for the cognitive–motor training group and during the motor-DT for the motor–motor training group (p = .12). The effect of DT training on DT interference depends on the training modality.

Background: This study aims to explore the correlation between body composition, encompassing factors such as muscle mass and fat distribution, and gait performance during both single-task walking (STW) and dual-task walking (DTW) in patients diagnosed with cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD). Methods: The data of hospitalized patients diagnosed with CSVD, including cadence, stride time, velocity and stride length, as well as information on variability, asymmetry and coordination during both STW and DTW, were assessed. The number of falls reported by each participant was also assessed. Results: A total of 95 CSVD patients were assessed, and the results showed that individuals with low appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASM), which includes both the low ASM group and the combination of low ASM and high body fat (BF) group, had reduced velocity or cadence, shortened stride length, and prolonged stride time across all walking modalities compared to the control group. Only the combination of the low ASM and high BF group exhibited a deterioration in the coefficient of variation (CV) for all basic parameters and the Phase Coordination Index (PCI) compared to the control group across all walking patterns. Conversely, patients in the high BF group displayed a decline in basic parameters, primarily during cognitive DTW. Concurrently, the high BF group showed a significant increase in the CV and the PCI compared to the control group only during cognitive DTW. Furthermore, regardless of gender, both ASM and BF independently correlated with the occurrence of falls. Conclusions: CSVD patients with varying body compositions could allocate different levels of attention to their daily walking routines.
