Summary: This study investigated the differences in unilateral force control capabilities and motor dexterity between older and younger women at a low targeted force level. The findings showed that older women produced less force, had higher variability and regularity, and performed poorer in force error and motor dexterity compared to younger women.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the training effect of the Grooved Pegboard test (GPT) and measure GPT performance in dual-task (DT) in children. The findings showed that the first three consecutive trials of GPT had a significant impact on improving manual dexterity. Additionally, performing a dual-task did not affect GPT performance.

Summary: This review examines the potential of dual-task gait parameters as a predictive tool for cognitive impairment in older adults. Results suggest that certain parameters of dual-task gait, such as gait speed, speed cost, DT time, and word count during DT, show promising correlation with cognitive decline. These findings indicate the relevance of dual-task gait as a simple and effective screening tool for early detection of cognitive impairment in older individuals.

Summary: Despite the high prevalence of dementia, more than half of older adult patients never receive an evaluation. Current evaluation methods are lengthy and not viable for busy clinics. This study aimed to assess the relationship between a novel upper-extremity function (UEF) dual-task performance and neuropsychological test results in older adults.

Summary: Age-related decline in episodic memory is partly due to the reduced general processing resources in older adults. However, the effects of divided attention on associative information retrieval and representation seem to be minimal.

Summary: The study compared the performance of children with DCD and TD children in a dual task paradigm involving a dynamic balance task and secondary cognitive or bimanual fine motor tasks. Children with DCD scored significantly lower than TD children on both motor and attentional tasks, and the dual task effect showed similar interference and facilitation in both groups. The study found that divided attention abilities were a stronger predictor of performance in dual task conditions than MABC balance score, highlighting its importance in motor task training for children with DCD.

Summary: This study aims to demonstrate performance differences in submaximal force control and tactile pattern recognition in healthy older adults. The results show that older adults have impaired ability to discriminate tactile patterns and control low grip forces, despite no differences in grip strength or cognition compared to young adults.

Summary: This study uncovered age-related changes in eye movements during commonly used pegboard tests in older adults, including increased hand movement variability, more corrective saccades, and less time spent gazing at pegboard holes. The association between attentional deficits and manual dexterity impairments in older adults was also highlighted, shedding light on potential mechanisms underlying motor deficits in this population.

Summary: According to the Expected Value of Control theory, people integrate information about expected rewards and task performance efficacy to determine the expected value of control. The study found that participants invest more cognitive control when it is more rewarding and efficacious, and these incentive components modulate EEG signatures of incentive evaluation and proactive control allocation separately. People only exert cognitive effort if they believe the benefits outweigh the costs, by considering expected rewards and the importance of their effort in obtaining those rewards.

Summary: This article introduces two control strategies, average-model based (AMB) and energy-based (EB) control methods, for controlling a monoinverter dual parallel surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (MIDP-PMSM) with different parameters. The proposed EB control method shows better performance compared to the AMB control method, as demonstrated by mathematical analysis, MATLAB simulation, and experimental implementation.

Summary: Low back pain is a significant public health problem worldwide, but current interventions are not effective enough. Previous studies have shown that patients with chronic low back pain may have abnormal postural control, particularly under dual-task conditions. However, the results from these studies are inconsistent. This review summarizes relevant research on postural control in low back pain patients under dual-task conditions, analyzing it from various perspectives such as the theoretical model of dual-task interaction, specific research paradigms, postural control performance, and factors influencing postural control. It is reasonable to assume that low back pain patients may have abnormal postural control, influenced by factors such as age, cognitive resources, attention, sensorimotor integration, and the environment. Additionally, the nature and complexity of tasks further impact postural control performance. A deeper understanding of postural control in low back pain patients under dual-task conditions can provide valuable insights for rehabilitation and management, as well as contribute to scientific research on cognition and postural control.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the neuromotor adaptations when transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) is applied at nonspecific timings during motor skill training in healthy humans. The results showed that the reduction in motor adaptation rate was attenuated in the tVNS group compared with the sham group, while the in-session reduction rate did not differ between groups. There was no difference between groups in the adaptation rate to an untrained trajectory pattern. Corticospinal excitability and GABA-mediated intracortical inhibition did not show any training effect. These findings suggest that adding tVNS at nonspecific timings during motor skill training can compromise motor adaptation but not transfer in healthy humans.
