Abstract
BACKGROUND Both physical and cognitive impairments are common in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Performing a cognitive task while walking (i.e., dual-task walking) can introduce cognitive-motor interference (CMI), resulting in changes in walking performance. The association between the levels of cognitive impairment and of CMI in MS remains unclear. OBJECTIVES To examine the association between cognitive functioning and differences in walking performance arise between single- and dual-task walking. METHODS Ninety-five PwMS performed self-preferred pace walking and dual-task walking. The gait parameters recorded were used to compute dual task costs (DTC) as a metric of CMI. Cognitive functioning was assessed using Match, an unsupervised test developed based on the Symbol Digit Modalities Test. Participants were categorized as higher (HCF) and lower cognitive functioning (LCF) based on a Match z-score < -1.5. RESULTS LCF group had elevated DTC for stride velocity, relative to the HCF group. Higher DTC for stride velocity was associated with lower cognition, as assessed by Match test. CONCLUSION The findings support the hypothesis that CMI is associated with cognitive functioning in PwMS.

Brown A, Ferguson L, Castillo J, Nguyen HXT, Ervin C, Whishaw DM, Bower W. Determinants of Bladder Care at Night in a Subacute Ward for Aged Patients: An Observational Study. J Wound Ostomy Continence Nurs 2024; 51:146-151.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate how bladder care at night correlates to patients' mobility status. DESIGN This was an observational study. SUBJECTS AND SETTING The sample comprises 63 aged care subacute patients who were observed over 3 consecutive nights in an inpatient subacute aged care ward located in Melbourne, Australia. Half of the participants were female; their mean age was 82.0 (standard deviation 8.2) years. Data were collected from December 2020 to March 2021. METHODS Outcome variables included demographic and pertinent clinical characteristics, type and timing of toileting and/or bladder care provided, and mobility classification. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the frequency of nocturnal bladder care provided each night and as a mean over the 3 nights. The relationship between the type of care units provided and other variables was explored using a 1-way analysis of variance; values ≤.05 were deemed statistically significant. RESULTS Findings indicate that 27% (n = 17), 41% (n = 26), and 48% (n = 30) of participants required assistance to move in bed, sit up in bed, and stand from sitting, respectively. Care episodes for both incontinence and assistance with voiding were significantly associated with functional mobility in bed ( F = 5.52, P < .001; F = 2.14, P = .02) and with ambulation independence ( F = 3.52, P = .001; F = 2.04, P = .03) but not with age or ambulation distance. CONCLUSIONS Care provided for urinary incontinence during the night was related to the need for physical support of ambulation and poor mobility in bed. Targeted input from a multidisciplinary team is warranted to facilitate change of practice at night.
