What is Impact of Adding a Simultaneous Cognitive Task in the Elbow's Range of Movement During Arm Curl Test in Women with Fibromyalgia about?
## Background: Fibromyalgia symptoms cause a significant reduction in the ability to perform daily life activities. these activities require the ability to perform more than one task simultaneously. the main objective of this study was to evaluate how dual-task could modify range of movement, duration of repetitions and performance in the arm curl test in healthy controls and patients with fibromyalgia. ## Methods: Twenty women participated in this study, divided into two groups: 1) patients with fibromyalgia (n = 10, age = 52.00 [5.08]) and 2) age- and gender-matched healthy controls (n = 10; age = 51.60 [4.09]). the participants had to perform the arm curl test in two conditions: single test condition and performing a dual-task. the dual-task condition consisted of remembering three random unrelated words. ## Results: Patients with fibromyalgia completed fewer repetitions than controls during dual-task condition (p-value = 0.015). furthermore, both groups showed a significant decrease in the range of movement in the dual-task condition when comparing the mean of the three first repetitions with the three last ones (p-value < 0.05). ## Interpretation: The motor task might be prior
