Age, cognitive task, and arm position differently affect muscle synergy recruitment but have similar effects on walking balance
Age modifies walking balance and neuromuscular control. Cognitive and postural
constraints can increase walking balance difficulty and magnify age-related differences …

Beam width and arm position but not cognitive task affect walking balance in older adults
Detection of changes in dynamic balance could help identify older adults at fall risk. Walking
on a narrow beam with its width, cognitive load, and arm position manipulated could be an …
