Association of subsequent falls with evidence of dual-task interference while walking in community-dwelling individuals after stroke.

CONCLUSION: The degree of mobility interference during dual-task obstacle-crossing was the most effective in predicting falls among all the single-task and dual-task walking measure parameters tested. This simple dual-task walking assessment has potential clinical utility in identifying people post stroke at high risk of future falls. PMID: 32460556 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
