Dual-task effects in children with neuromotor dysfunction. Systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: There are a few high quality studies addressing dual-task effects on activities performed by children with neuromotor dysfunctions. These children show greater susceptibility to dual-task costs than typical ones. There is a lack of studies addressing children with CP and Down syndrome, which are highly prevalent and commonly seen in clinical settings. Thus, dual-task effects in children with neuromotor dysfunctions remain a wide research field, with need for further studies to fill in the existing gaps.
