Factors Associated With Physical Therapy Engagement During the Period of Posttraumatic Amnesia
Background and Purpose:
Physical therapy is important in the management of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and associated multitrauma. Providing therapy during the posttraumatic amnesia (PTA) phase is challenging, given that hallmark features including confusion, amnesia, agitation, and fatigue may impede the person's ability to engage in and benefit from rehabilitation. To date, there is little empirical evidence to guide the provision of therapy during PTA. This observational study aimed to explore the frequency, duration, location, and engagement of physical therapy provision during PTA and the impact of cognition, agi...

The Role of Cognitive Impairment on Physical Therapy Attendance and Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis
Conclusions:
These findings demonstrate the ability for PwMS to make functional motor gains despite the presence of cognitive impairments and highlight the potential contributions of cognitive functioning on attendance and goal attainment of physical therapy intervention.

Greater Cognitive-Motor Interference in Individuals Post-Stroke During More Complex Motor Tasks
Background and Purpose:
Dual-task (DT) walking assessments allow for the simultaneous evaluation of cognitive and motor performance. During DT walking, individuals may experience interference in one or both tasks, known as cognitive-motor interference (CMI). The primary purpose of this study was to compare CMI between individuals post-stroke and healthy persons group during single- and dual-motor and cognitive tasks, using 2 distinct walking tasks.
Methods:
Motor performance was quantified as the total time for the Timed Up and Go (TUG) and gait speed for the 90-second walk (90W). Cognitive performance was measu...

Unraveling the Cognitive-Motor Interaction in Individuals With Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment
This study aimed to determine whether increasing the contribution of executive functions worsens dual-task performance in individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI).
Methods:
Fourteen individuals with aMCI (mean [SD]: 74 [4] years) and 19 control adults (71 [5] years) recalled a list of letters in the order of presentation (SPAN-O) or in alphabetic order (SPAN-A) while ascending or descending a 3-step staircase. Dual-task cost (DTC) represented the average decrement of motor and cognitive performances during dual tasks, with greater DTC indicating worse performance.
Results:
SPAN-A (P (Source:...

Mobility and Depressive Symptoms in Persons With Mild Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer Dementia
Conclusions:
In this study, we found no associations between mobility and depressive symptoms in persons with MCI and AD recruited at a memory clinic. Few participants had major symptoms of depression, which may have influenced the results. Longitudinal studies are needed to explore the long-time associations between mobility and depression.

Fluid Cognition Relates to Locomotor Switching in Neurotypical Adults, Not Individuals After Stroke
Conclusions:
Individuals after stroke appear to have deficits in locomotor switching compared with neurotypical adults. The relationship between fluid cognition and locomotor switching was significant in neurotypical adults but not in individuals after stroke. Future work to understand the relationship between specific cognitive domains and locomotor switching is needed (see the Video, Supplemental Digital Content 1, available at: http://links.lww.com/JNPT/A361).

Temporal But Not Spatial Gait Parameters Associated With Lower Balance Capacity in Moderate-High Functioning Persons With Stroke
Conclusions:
Findings highlight the importance of gait temporal symmetry and variability measures for dynamic balance control after stroke. These parameters should be considered when assessing gait recovery and safety in PwS.
