Abstract
The forward lunge develops unilateral strength and stability to maximise performance and reduce the risk of injuries [1]. In day-to-day life, as well as sport, motor-cognitive dual tasking is often required for successful task performance. Dual-tasking can cause performance decrements in one or both tasks, which can result in injuries [2].
By ‘return to activity/sport’ in rehabilitation evidence of dual-tasking ability is important, thus rehabilitation must incorporate this. It is unknown how different types of cognitive tasks can be used in rehabilitation. Virtual reality (VR) could create a diverse, challenging, and controllable environment, representative of real-world situations for dual-task training.
