Motor performance and cognitive function both decline with aging. Older adults for example
are usually less steady for a constant-force task than young adults when performing low …

To expose cortical involvement in age-related changes in motor performance, we compared
steadiness (force fluctuations) and fatigability of submaximal isometric contractions with the …

Despite activities of daily living being frequently performed simultaneously with a cognitive
task, motor function is often investigated in isolation, which can hinder the applicability of …

Aging reduces cognitive functions, and such impairments have implications in mental and
motor performance. Cognitive function has been recently linked to the risk of falls in older …

A cognitive challenge when imposed during a low-force isometric contraction will
exacerbate sex-and age-related decreases in force steadiness, but the mechanism is not …

Greater heterogeneity exists in older adults relative to young adults when performing highly
skilled manual tasks. The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of visual …

Force steadiness can be influenced by visual feedback as well as presence of a cognitive
tasks and potentially differs with age and sex. This study determined the impact of altered …

Purpose These studies determined (1) age-and sex-related differences in steadiness of
isometric contractions when high cognitive demand was imposed across a range of forces …

Abstract The Compensation Related Utilization of Neural Circuits Hypothesis (CRUNCH)
proposes a framework for understanding task-related brain activity changes as a function of …

During role-differentiated bimanual movements (RDBM), an object is typically stabilized with
1 hand and manipulated with the other. RDBM require coupling both hands for coordinated …
