Dual-task walking performance in older persons with hearing impairment: Implications for interventions from a preliminary observational study

Ear and Hearing Mar 02, 2018

Wollesen B, et al. - Experts assessed the dual-task (DT) and triple-task (TT) effects on walking speed, step length, and cadence in adults with hearing impairment, previous falls, and physical limitations.

With increasing hearing loss, larger negative effects on DT and TT walking were noted. In order to enhance motor and cognitive flexibility and to reduce fall risks, DT training could be beneficial.
