Conclusion The results of this systematic review indicate that motor performance is further impaired by placing a cognitive load on individuals in population s with musculoskeletal injury .
More dem and ing tasks such as gait appear to be more affected in injured individuals than simple balance tasks .
Background Research suggests that individuals with musculoskeletal injury may have difficulty negotiating physical tasks when they are combined with cognitive loads .
Objective Our objective was to conduct a systematic review to underst and the effects of increased cognitive dem and on movement patterns among individuals with musculoskeletal injuries .
Effect of cognitive task on postural control of the patients with chronic ankle instability during single and double leg standing.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of a cognitive task on st and ing postural control of the injured and non-injured leg of athletes with chronic ankle instability . METHODS Postural stability was measured by center of pressure parameters while chronic ankle instability patients ( n = 8) r and omly performed single and double leg st and ing in isolation or concurrently with a digit-backward cognitive task . RESULTS After performing a concurrent cognitive task , anteroposterior sway significantly decreased in injured leg ( P < 0.05 ) and area significantly decreased in both injured and non-injured legs ( P < 0.05 ) . There was no significant difference in all center of pressure parameters between injured and non-injured legs . CONCLUSION The findings confirm the effect of a concurrent digit-backwards memory task on single leg st and ing balance in chronic ankle instability patients but the response to cognitive loading was not significantly different between the injured and non-injured legs
