Effect of dual-task interaction combining postural and visual perturbations on cortical activity and postural control ability

Previous studies have suggested cortical involvement in postural control in humans by measuring cortical activities and conducting dual-task paradigms. In dual-task paradigms, task performance deteriorates and can be facilitated in specific dual-task settings. Theoretical frameworks explaining these...

description Previous studies have suggested cortical involvement in postural control in humans by measuring cortical activities and conducting dual-task paradigms. In dual-task paradigms, task performance deteriorates and can be facilitated in specific dual-task settings. Theoretical frameworks explaining these dual-task interactions have been proposed and debated for decades. Therefore, we investigated postural control performance under different visual conditions using a virtual reality system, simultaneously measuring cortical activities with a functional near-infrared spectroscopy system. Twenty-four healthy participants were included in this study. Postural stability and cortical activities after perturbations were measured under several conditions consisting of postural and visual perturbations. The results showed that concurrent visual and postural perturbations could facilitate cortical activities in the supplementary motor area and superior parietal lobe. Additionally, visual distractors deteriorated postural control ability and cortical activation of the supplementary motor area. These findings supported the theoretical framework of the “Cross talk model”, in which concurrent tasks using similar neural domains can facilitate these task performances. Furthermore, it indicated that the cortical resource capacity and domains activated for information processing should be considered in experiments involving dual-task paradigms and training.
