Dual-Tasking in MS: What to Measure, What to Train, What Matters
time & Date
Tuesday, April 28, 2026 | 7:00 PM ET
This presentation will explore the role of dual-tasking in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), focusing on why these skills matter in daily function, what clinicians should measure, and how dual-tasking can be effectively trained. Participants will review the neural systems involved in dual-task performance, examine current evidence related to assessment and intervention strategies, and discuss practical, evidence-informed approaches for improving dual-task capacity for meaningful functional outcomes in real-world settings.

Learning Objectives
- Describe the key neural systems involved in dual-task performance and explain how dual-task training may target specific brain functions.
- Summarize the current state of the evidence regarding assessment and intervention approaches for evaluating and treating dual-task-related deficits in people with MS.
- Discuss evidence-informed strategies to design and deliver interventions to improve dual-task capacity in people with MS and optimize practices for measuring the impact of change on real-world function.
