Changes in standing and walking performance under dual-task conditions across the lifespan

J Ruffieux, M Keller, B Lauber, W Taube - Sports Medicine, 2015 - Springer
Simultaneous performance of a postural and a concurrent task is rather unproblematic as
long as the postural task is executed in an automatic way. However, in situations where …

Dual-task conditions on static postural control in older adults: A systematic review and meta-analysis

L Petrigna, A Gentile, D Mani… - Journal of Aging …, 2020 - journals.humankinetics.com
Dual-task (DT) consists of the performance of two tasks simultaneously. An index of DT

Proprioceptive acuity predicts muscle co-contraction of the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius medialis in older adults' dynamic postural control

CE Craig, DJ Goble, M Doumas - Neuroscience, 2016 - Elsevier
Older adults use a different muscle strategy to cope with postural instability, in which they 'co-
contract'the muscles around the ankle joint. It has been suggested that this is a …

Adult age differences in the effects of processing on storage in working memory: A meta-analysis.

AJ Jaroslawska, S Rhodes - Psychology and aging, 2019 - psycnet.apa.org
Normal adult aging is known to be associated with lower performance on tasks assessing
the short-term storage of information. However, whether or not there are additional age …

[HTML][HTML] Dual-task walking on real-world surfaces: adaptive changes in walking speed, step width and step height in young and older adults

C Hennah, M Doumas - Experimental gerontology, 2023 - Elsevier
Objectives Age-related changes in dual-task walking are well established, but research in
this topic is based on evidence from laboratory rather than real-world studies. We …

[HTML][HTML] Neurophysiological correlates of age differences in driving behavior during concurrent subtask performance

R Stojan, C Voelcker-Rehage - NeuroImage, 2021 - Elsevier
Driving is a complex cognitive-motor task that requires the continuous integration of
multisensory information, cognitive processes, and motor actions. With higher age, driving …
