Single-Task and Dual-Task Gait Among Collegiate Athletes of Different Sport Classifications: Implications for Concussion Management

Abstract: Gait impairments have been documented following sport-related concussion. Whether preexisting gait pattern differences exist among athletes who participate in different sport classifications, however, remains unclear. Dual-task gait examinations probe the simultaneous performance of everyday tasks (ie, walking and thinking), and can quantify gait performance using inertial sensors. The purpose of this study was to compare the single-task and dual-task gait performance of collision/contact and noncontact athlet… Show more

“…Novel cognitive or movement tasks possess substantial practice effects that contaminate the measurement of impairment recovery following sports concussion. However, non-novel motor tasks such as walking have clinical value due to minimal practice effects 92 93. Challenging cognitive tasks require additional attention, withdrawing attention from other performance domains 49 60.…”

“…Both had high reliability, extending the findings of previous studies using instrumented gait methods among healthy adolescent and young adult athletes. 32 However, the advantage of the tandem gait paradigm is the ability to assess motor function objectively without the technological requirements needed for instrumented gait assessments. Furthermore, our results suggest that reliability of the tandem gait test exceeded that of other objective tests that have been used in concussion evaluations (eg, eye tracking 17 or Trail Making Test performance).…”

“…The cognitive test took 3 forms: (1) spelling a 5-letter word backward, (2) subtracting by 6 or 7 from a randomly presented 2-digit number, or (3) reciting the months in reverse order starting from a randomly chosen month. High test-retest consistency 7 and normative values among healthy collegiate athletes 8 have been identified using these cognitive tasks during dual-task gait; the tasks have also been used to distinguish between adolescents with and those without a concussion. 9 Consistent with these studies, we randomly selected the test form for each trial to avoid learning effects from 1 trial to the next, and no duplicate cues were used.…”

“…5,6 Gait assessments, in particular, are an objective and repeatable method for quantifying functional abilities in the context of concussion management. 7,8 The complexity required by a dynamic motor task, such as gait, may allow concussion-related deficits to be detected for a longer period of time after injury than do symptom inventories. 6,9,10 Therefore, concussion evaluations that include gait analysis may allow clinicians to recognize deficits not readily identifiable through symptom inventories.…”
