Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Test of Masticating and Swallowing SolidsBaseline (single-task and dual-task conditions assessed on the same day)Test of Masticating and Swallowing Solids (TOMASS) is a standardized clinical assessment used to evaluate solid bolus mastication and swallowing performance.
Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)BaselineThe MMSE is a brief, widely used screening tool for assessing global cognitive function.
Go/No-Go TestBaseline (single-task and dual-task conditions assessed on the same day)The Go/No-Go Test is a neuropsychological assessment used to evaluate response inhibition and sustained attention.
Auditory Reaction Time TestBaseline (single-task and dual-task conditions assessed on the same day)The Auditory Reaction Time Test is used to assess auditory attention and the speed of motor response to auditory stimuli.
Tap ToolBaseline (single-task and dual-task conditions assessed on the same day)The Tap Tool is a neuropsychological and motor performance assessment used to evaluate psychomotor speed and fine motor control.
