Dual-Task Effects on Gait and Balance in MCRS
Sponsor: Balikesir University
Summary
This study aims to investigate the effects of cognitive load on gait and balance performance in individuals with Motoric Cognitive Risk Syndrome (MCRS). Participants will perform Timed Up and Go (TUG) and tandem walking tests under single-task and dual-task conditions. The study evaluates cognitive-motor interference and dual-task cost to better understand early markers of cognitive decline and fall risk.
