“…The relative change in performance associated with dual-task performance is known as dual-task interference, and it has been shown that individuals with neurological deficits may be particularly susceptible to this interference, as increased attentional demands to control motor performance reduce the availability of attentional resources to perform simultaneous secondary tasks [ 24 ]. In this way, it has been noted that individuals with FM exhibit more significant interference when performing two tasks simultaneously compared to healthy individuals, consequently affecting their performance in one or both tasks [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 ].…”

Previous research has established good test–retest reliability for isokinetic dynamometry in fibromyalgia. However, the reliability of this test under dual-task conditions has not been investigated in fibromyalgia. Methods: A total of 10 women with fibromyalgia participated in this study. Participants completed the concentric/concentric test. The dual-task condition involved subtracting two by two while performing the test. Results: Reliability analysis under the single condition showed “poor” to “excellent” values for maximum peak torque in knee extension and “moderate” to “excellent” values for average. “Poor” to “excellent” reliability values were found in knee flexion for the maximum and average. Dual-task condition in knee extension ranged from “moderate” to “excellent” for maximum and average values, and in knee flexion, it ranged from “poor” to “excellent” for maximum value and from “moderate” to “excellent” for average value. Conclusions: Isokinetic dynamometry demonstrated sufficient reliability for measuring strength in knee extension maximum and average during single-task and dual-task conditions, along with knee flexion dual-task average in fibromyalgia. For knee flexion single-task maximum and average and knee flexion dual-task maximum, we did not obtain sufficiently reliable measurements. Only the concentric/concentric test has been studied, and future studies with a larger sample size are needed in order to generalize the results.
