Our activities of daily living inherently involve interacting with the physical environment. This
interaction involves both reactive (feedback) and proactive (feedforward) gait adaptations …

BACKGROUND Turning may be particularly challenging for stroke patients leading to
decreased mobility and increased functional restriction. Timed up and go instrumentation …

The timed up and go test (TUG) is a common clinical functional balance test often used to
complement findings on sensorimotor changes due to aging or sensory/motor dysfunction …

Background Turning during walking is a relevant and common everyday movement and it
depends on a correct top-down intersegmental coordination. This could be reduced in …

Introduction Medio-lateral stability during walking turns relies on the interaction between
precise weight shifts of the body and changes in base of support by regulating step width …

Background and Purpose: Although instability during turning is a disabling feature of
Parkinson disease (PD), little is known about the associated postural characteristics. Our …

Objective Deficits in vestibular function increase the risk for falls while turning. However, the
clinical assessment of turning in patients with vestibular dysfunction is lacking, and evidence …

Difficulty in turning is prevalent in older adults and results in postural instability and risk of
falling. Despite this, the mechanisms of turning problems have yet to be fully determined …

Background Turning during walking and volitionally modulating walking speed introduces
complexity to gait and has been minimally explored. Research question How do the …

Background Coordination is the ability to assemble and maintain appropriate relations
between joints. Investigating limb coordination in curve-turning (CT) walking could provide …
