Immediate impact of extremity manipulation on dual task performance: a randomized, crossover clinical trial

ConclusionOur findings show that manipulation of the extremities enhanced stability (e.g. tube stabilization and standing balance) on performance of a dual task. This furthers the argument that site-specific manipulations influence context specific motor behavior/coordination. However, as this study focused only on the immediate effects of extremity manipulation, caution is urged in generalizing these results to longer time frames until more work has been done examining the length of time these effects last.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov,NCT03877367, Registered 15 March 2019.
