Dual-Task Upper Extremity Motor Performance Measured by Video Processing as Cognitive-Motor Markers for Older Adults

Conclusion: This study proposes a video processing-based approach to analyze dual-task upper-extremity motor performance from a simple and convenient upper-extremity function test. The results indicate concurrent validity of the proposed video-based MCM compared with the sensor-based MCM, and associations between dual-task upper-extremity motor performance and clinically validated cog nitive markers (MMSE scores and dual-task gait). Future studies are warranted to explore sensitivity of this solution to promote remote assessment of cognitive-motor performance among older adults in telehealth applications.
