Humans' balance recovery responses to gait perturbations are negatively impacted with
ageing. Slip and trip events, the main causes preceding falls during walking, are likely to …

This systematic review examined available findings on spatial and temporal characteristics
of cortical activity in response to unpredicted mechanical perturbations. Secondly, this …

The fact that weak leg muscles, impaired vision, numb feet, or insufficient blood pressure
can predispose someone to a fall is unsurprising. Consequently, such factors are a standard …

The ability to safely negotiate the world on foot takes humans years to develop, reflecting the
extensive cognitive demands associated with real‐time planning and control of walking …

Reactive balance is postulated to be attentionally demanding, although it has been
underexamined in dual-tasking (DT) conditions. Further, DT studies have mainly included …

Perturbation-based balance training has shown to induce adaptation of reactive balance
responses that can significantly reduce longer-term fall risk in older adults. While specific …

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 …

Introduction Perturbation walking (PW) has been shown to improve gait, however its effect
on the cortical control of gait might provide insights on neural mechanisms underlying falls in …

Individuals with Parkinson's disease often experience postural instability, a debilitating and
largely treatment-resistant symptom. A better understanding of the neural substrates …

Age-associated cognitive and motor decline is related to central nervous system injury in
older adults. Motor imagery training (MIT), as an emerging rehabilitative intervention, can …
