Fear of falling and dual-task performance in people with Parkinson’s disease.
People with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) report greater fear of falling (FOF) and demonstrate poorer dual-task performance than healthy age-matched controls. The aim of this study was to assess the association between FOF and dual-task performance in PwP. 31 PwP participated (17 male, 14 female) with m...

The aim of this study was to assess the association between FOF and dual-task performance in PwP. 31 PwP participated (17 male, 14 female) with mild to severe disease severity (Hoehn and Yahr Stages I:8, II:4, III:13 and IV:6) and mean age of 69.5 (±8.4) years. FOF was assessed using the Activities-specific Balance Confidence scale. Dual-tasks performed with the Timed Up and Go (TUG) were TUG-Manual: carrying a glass of water, TUG-Arithmetic: serial subtractions and TUG-Literacy: reciting the days of the week backwards. 45% (n = 14) reported high levels of FOF. FOF had a strong significant inverse association with the motor dual-task (r = −0.504,p = 0.01) and a weak to moderate non-significant association with the cognitive dual-tasks (TUG-Literacyr = −0.343,p = 0.06; TUG-Arithmeticr = −0.282,p = 0.13). Cognitive dysfunction (Mini-Mental State Examination score) was significantly inversely associated with the cognitive dual-tasks (TUG-Literacy:r = −0.48,p = 0.01) (TUG-Arithmetic:r = −0.532,p < 0.001) but not with the motor dual-task (r = −0.16,p = 0.44). The association between FOF and dual-task performance is dependent on task type and complexity. Future research should determine the cause and effect nature of this relationship in a longitudinal cohort study. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
