Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: Each participant was asked to wear a pair of black spandex shorts. Passive reflective markers were placed bilaterally at the anterior superior iliac spine, posterior superior iliac spine, lateral thigh, lateral femoral condyle, medial femoral condyle, anterior superior shank, anterior inferior shank, lateral malleoli, medial malleoli, heel, and first and fifth metatarsophalangeal. The participant was instructed to walk with barefoot in two conditions: (1) without cognitive task (single-task condition), and (2) with concurrent cognitive task (dual-task condition). In single-task condition, the participant walked along a 10-m walkway at self-selected walking speed. In dual-task condition, the participant walked along the walkway while backward counting numbers with an increment of seven starting from a randomly given number between 125 and 250. In dual-task condition, participants immediately initiated the walking task at their preferred speed once they heard the number read by the investigator and kept counting out loudly as required without repeating the given number. Participants were asked to count as fast as possible while walking task. A 5 min rest was requested between single-task and dual-task test. The order of conditions was randomized for the participant. Quadriceps strength was evaluated for the participant after walking test.
Three-dimensional (3-D) trajectories of the reflective markers were collected using an 8-camera motion capture system (VICON, Oxford, UK) at a sample rate of 100 Hz. Ground-reaction force signals were collected using two embedded force plates (AMTI, Watertown, Massachusetts) at a sample rate of 1000 Hz. Each participant was asked to have three successful trials for each condition. A successful trial was defined as a trial in which the participant performed the task as required, and all kinematic and kinetic data were collected.
Quadriceps isometric strength was quantified with an isokinetic dynamometer (CON-TREX MJ; Germany) during a maximum voluntary isometric contraction (MVIC). The participant was seated with a hip flexed at 90° and knee flexed at 60°. The lateral femoral condyle was aligned with the dynamometer axis, and the dynamometer resistance pad was secured to the anterior aspect of the distal shank. After correcting for leg weight, the participant was asked to perform submaximal practice to familiarize themselves with the testing apparatus. After familiarization of testing apparatus, the participant was asked to have three recorded maximum-effort trials (5 seconds in duration, 60 seconds' rest between trials) for each leg with uninjured leg tested first.
