Research in movement science aims at unravelling mechanisms and designing methods for
restoring and maximizing human functional capacity, and many techniques provide access …

People fall more often when their gait stability is reduced. Gait stability can be directly
manipulated by exerting forces or moments onto a person, ranging from simple walking …

Background Step width is a spatial variable in the frontal plane, defined as the mediolateral
distance between the heel (forefoot during sprinting) of bilateral feet at initial contact …

This study aims to investigate the effects of dual-task physical–cognitive the training on body
balance (BB), gait performance (GP), lower limb muscle strength (LEMS), and cognitive …

Objective In healthy children, there is evidence of improvements in static and dynamic
balance performance following balance training. However, the time-course of balance …

Although there have been reports of potential correlations between balance function and the
visual nerve, or between the visual nerve and the spatial environment, the interrelationship …

Background Aging is associated with changes in neuromuscular control that can lead to
difficulties in performing daily living tasks. Muscle synergy analysis allows the assessment of …

Action observation plus motor imagery (AOMI) is a rehabilitative approach to improve gait
and balance performance. However, limited benefits have been reported in older adults …

Background Although a lot of attention is paid to the flaws of balance training research in
older adults, the low methodological quality and incomplete reporting of studies still limit the …

Several studies have shown the positive effect of cerebellar transcranial direct current
stimulation (ctDCS) on balance in patients and older adults. However, in healthy volunteers …
