Cognitive neuroscience studies in humans have enabled decades of impactful discoveries
but have primarily been limited to recording the brain activity of immobile participants in a …

Automaticity is a hallmark feature of walking in adults who are healthy and well-functioning.
In the context of walking,“automaticity” refers to the ability of the nervous system to …

Background The gait speed and handgrip strength represented the core determinants of
physical frailty and sarcopenia, which were reported to be associated with cognitive …

A substantial corpus of evidence suggests that the cognitive involvement in postural control
and gait increases with aging. A large portion of such studies were based on dual-task …

Safe locomotion is a crucial aspect of human daily living that requires well-functioning motor
control processes. The human neuromotor control of daily activities such as walking relies …

Objectives To provide an overview of the role of cognition in falls, with potential implications
for managing and preventing falls in older adults. Design Review. Setting Observational and …

Recent research highlights the association of gait and cognition in older adults but a
stronger understanding is needed to discern coincident pathophysiology, patterns of …

Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is increasingly used in the field
of posture and gait to investigate patterns of cortical brain activation while people move …

BACKGROUND There are normal physiologic changes that occur as the body ages. These
changes affect the body, organs, and systems, and their functional decline may alter general …

Background: Older people with cognitive impairment are at increased risk of falls; however,
fall prevention strategies have limited success in this population. The aim of this paper is to …
