Key result
Mild traumatic brain injury leads to interrelated deficits in biomechanical, sensorimotor, and attentional functions, including impaired gait stability exacerbated by secondary cognitive tasks.
Mild traumatic brain injury disrupts executive function and impairs gait stability, especially during dual-task conditions.
Hypothesis-generating for dual-task gait assessment post-mTBI; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
In Brief Even a mild traumatic brain injury leads to deficits in the ability to maintain gait stability that is exacerbated when a secondary cognitive task is performed at the same time. This implies that executive function is disrupted after concussion-a supposition that is confirmed when tested directly. Mild traumatic brain injury leads to deficits in a number of biomechanical, sensorimotor, and attentional functions that appear to be interrelated.

Donkelaar et al. (2006) studied Mild traumatic brain injury. Mild traumatic brain injury was evaluated on Gait stability and executive function. Mild traumatic brain injury leads to interrelated deficits in biomechanical, sensorimotor, and attentional functions, including impaired gait stability exacerbated by secondary cognitive tasks.
