dc.description.abstractIn elderly people, double or multitasking (cognitive and motor) are severely impaired, associated with reduced cognitive function and loss of automatic capacity of the motor and musculoskeletal system. The activation of brain areas of cognitive control during the task demonstrates the relationship of cognitive functions with motor function, so that the ability of the dual task has a great impact on the performance of daily activities. However, there is no consensus on measures to evaluate multiple tasks. Methods An experimental protocol was tested four times over 8 months in a sample of 126 eldelly (60-98 years old 78.98 ± 8.34) to evaluate functional performance reported in walking, cognition and coordination in double and multiple tasks , along a path (6mx0.4m). We test eight different tasks conjugations of a) walking straight, b) counting back, c) coordinating the upper limbs and d) overcoming the obstacle. We also used MMSE, TUG and TUG-Cognitive and an IADL scale. The score of the experimental protocol is done by counting errors. Results Time differences between TUG-Cognitive and TUG are used to compare several task conjugations of the protocol. Statistically significant correlation with the differences between TUG-Cognitive time and TUG and MMSE was found to a dual task (walking and counting back) na to a multiple task (walking in a straight line with coordination of the upper limb and counting) Conclusions The ability of older people to perform dual and multi-tasks can be measure with a easy protocol including task as walkink, count backward and upper limb coordination.pt_PT
