Although old people make up an extremely vulnerable road-user group, older pedestrians'
difficulties have been studied less extensively than those of older drivers, and more …

The aim of this study was to investigate the role of visual information in the control of walking
over complex terrain with irregularly spaced obstacles. We developed an experimental …

Objectives. We investigated whether sustained attention performance and variability were
associated with prefrailty and frailty in the older adult population. Method. A total of 4,317 …

Although gait‐related dual‐task interference in aging is well established, the effect of gait
and cognitive task difficulty on dual‐task interference is poorly understood. The purpose of …

Frailty is an age-related dynamic status, characterized by a reduced resistance to stressors
due to the cumulative decline of multiple physiological systems. Several researches have …

Background The ability to adapt gait when negotiating unexpected hazards is crucial to
maintain stability and avoid falling. This study investigated whether impaired gait …

Background Previous evidence indicates that older people allocate more of their attentional
resources toward their gait and that the attention-related changes that occur during aging …

There are conflicting results regarding the effect of aging on postural prioritization. The
present study investigated balance recovery performance of young and old adults following …

Background With aging, the cognitive function of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) declined,
postural control weakened, and fall risk increased. As a mind–body exercise, regular Tai Chi …

Background. Trips are the largest contributor to falls in older people, yet little is known about
the underlying physiological mechanisms for safe obstacle negotiation. The aims of the …
