Summary

Postural-suprapostural task is defined as postural control takes place while at least one other concurrent task is being performed. In a postural-suprapostural task, appropriate prioritization of is necessary to achieve task goals and maintain postural stability. Therefore, regarding to impose task prioritization in a postural-suprapostural task, the optimal task-priority strategy for PD patients is still an issue of debate. With the uses of EEG, EMG and behavioral measures, the purpose of this project is to investigate the differences in performance quality and intrinsic neural mechanisms of a postural-suprapostural task for PD patients, by adopting posture-focus and suprapostural-focus strategies during standing and walking. The present project is expected to have significant contributions not only to gain a better insight to neural correlates of concurrent postural and suprapostural tasks with different task prioritization under standing and walking, but to optimize treatment strategy for PD patients with balance or dual-tasking disturbances.

  • Parkinson Disease

Interventions

OTHER

task-priority strategies

posture-focus strategy: when performing postural-suprapostural task (dual-task), the patient mainly focus on postural task (standing/walking). supraposture-focus strategy: when performing postural-suprapostural task (dual-task), the patient mainly focus on suprapostural task (stabilize the tray).
