Considering neurophysiological mechanisms of dual-tasking in people with multiple sclerosis: an exploratory, cross-sectional small-N study

Key Points

• Dual-tasking performance appears similar between people with MS and non-MS controls, highlighting a crucial finding for understanding cognitive function.
• Neurophysiological mechanisms involved in dual-tasking may differ significantly, indicating underlying complexity in multiple sclerosis.
• Cross-sectional analysis assessed the impact of corticomotor pathways on performance during dual-tasking, adding depth to current knowledge.
• Understanding these differences may aid in developing tailored interventions for improving dual-task performance in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
