Dementia and gait impairments often coexist in older adults and patients with
neurodegenerative disease. Both conditions represent independent risk factors for falls. The …

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

Falling poses a major threat to the steadily growing population of the elderly in modern-day
society. A major challenge in the prevention of falls is the identification of individuals who …

Fall injuries are responsible for physical dysfunction, significant disability, and loss of
independence among elderly. Poor postural control is one of the major risk factors for falling …

Objective We aimed to determine the effect of distinctly different cognitive tasks and walking
speed on cognitive-motor interference of dual-task walking. Methods Fifteen healthy adults …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated that the performance of a secondary task
during walking alters gait. Objective This study investigated the effects of task prioritization …

Corticomuscular coherence (CMC) is an index utilized to indicate coherence between brain
motor cortex and associated body muscles, conventionally. As an index of functional …

Background Falls in frail elderly are a common problem with a rising incidence. Gait and
postural instability are major risk factors for falling, particularly in geriatric patients. As …

Background. The relationship between frailty and gait characteristics other than velocity has
received little attention. Gait variability quantifies the automaticity of gait with greater …

Variability and stability of walking of eight transfemoral amputees and eight healthy controls
was studied under four conditions: walking inside on a smooth terrain, walking while …
