Until recently, gait was generally viewed as a largely automated motor task, requiring
minimal higher‐level cognitive input. Increasing evidence, however, links alterations in …

The focus of this review is on the close relationship between gait and cognition in ageing
and associated dementias. This close relationship is supported by epidemiological studies …

Drawing on the disciplines of neurophysiology and physics, Neuromechanics of Human
Movement, Fourth Edition, explores how the nervous system controls the actions of muscles …

The authors examined the relationship between cognition and gait velocity, performed with
and without interference, in elderly participants. Neuropsychological test scores from 186 …

Background. The factors that contribute to the dual tasking (DT) changes in performance that
occur when older adults walk while simultaneously performing other tasks are not well …

Although functional imaging studies have frequently examined age-related changes in
neural recruitment during cognitive tasks, much less is known about such changes during …

The current study examined the relationship between cognitive function and falls in older
people who did not meet criteria for dementia or mild cognitive impairment (N= 172). To …

Background Cognition and mobility in older adults are closely associated and they decline
together with aging. Studies evaluating associations between cognitive factors and gait …

This study investigated the interactions between gait and three different cognitive tasks in
people after stroke. Thirteen people post-stroke who were living in the community, were able …

Purpose Physical exercise and cognitive training have been shown to enhance cognition
among older adults. However, few studies have looked at the potential synergetic effects of …
