Quantification of Dual-task Performance in Healthy Young Adults Suitable for Military Use
Abstract
Dual-task performance, in which an individual performs two tasks simultaneously, is compromised following mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Proficient dual-task performance is essential in a military setting for both military member safety and execution of skilled tasks. To address the unique needs of military members, a portable dual-task assessment was developed incorporating an auditory dual-task task as a novel assessment module utilizing mobile-device technology. The aim of this study was to develop and validate a dual-task mobile device-based application that accurately quantifies cognitive and motor function.
