Tóm tắt

 BACKGROUND: Deficits in dual-tasks (DT) are frequently observed post-concussion (ie, mild Traumatic Brain Injury). However, traditional DT may not be relevant to daily life. Walking while talking elicits DT costs in healthy adults and is part of daily life. OBJECTIVE: We investigated the effect of concussion on walking with extemporaneous speech and explored relationships between DT and acute symptoms. METHODS: Participants with recent concussion (<
 14 days post-injury) and controls completed 3 tasks: single-task gait without speaking (ST RESULTS: Both concussion (n = 19) and control (n = 18) groups exhibited longer speech pauses ( CONCLUSIONS: Extemporaneous speech is well-practiced but challenging to complete while walking post-concussion. Strong associations between DT outcomes and vestibular-related symptoms suggest DT deficits vary with post-concussion symptomology. DT deficits may be deleterious to daily tasks post-concussion.
