I always enjoy speaking with Jon Strum. This time we chatted about managing problems with gait for persons with #MultipleSclerosis. Listen in and let me know what you think! 🎧🎧 Applebaum College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences National Honor Society in Neuroscience WSU Wayne State University DPT @WayneStateTNP National MS Society

Dual-task performance shows good potential as a clinical method to probe specific brain regions and networks; however, task selection and effect measurement must be carefully considered. Read: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37487365/

Research on Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with freezing of gait (FOG) reveals altered brain connections. Understanding these changes could help uncover the unique patterns of network connectivity and brain organization in PD-FOG patients. Read: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Scientists discovered that when people do two things at once, like walking and thinking, their abilities are somewhat connected. This is especially true for moving skills like walking and thinking skills like planning.

This connection was similar in different groups of people they studied.

Excited to see former lab member Jemma Kim, PT, DPT get her first, first-author paper published! We showed that arm swing asymmetries during dual-task gait were predictive of declines in cognition after 2 years among individuals with Parkinson's disease. authors.elsevier.com/a/1jE-s3S0FSxn…

Excited to share a paper looking at the relationship between perceived and actual balance, and how it relates to falls: journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.117… Also, Andrew Hooyman made this cool interactive app based on the data! superg.shinyapps.io/DiscordanceApp/ Jason K Longhurst, PT, DPT, PhD Martina Mancini
