Combining a Cognitive Concurrent Task with a Motor or Motor-Cognitive Task: Which Is Better to Differentiate Levels of Affectation in Parkinson’s Disease?

Table 3

Mixed ANOVAs and ANCOVAs comparing single and triple condition (intrasubject factor) for the fluency-pedaling-tracking triple task considering the disability groups (intersubject factor).

Fluency (with pedaling and tracking)Condition: single > triple
