Dual-task (DT) consists of the performance of two tasks simultaneously. An index of DT difficulty has been linked to decreased postural control. Because a wide range of DT is …
This cross-sectional study investigated the age-related differences in dual-task performance both in mobility and cognitive tasks and the additive dual-task costs in a sample of older …
We investigated whether stimulating the cerebellum and primary motor cortex (M1) using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) could affect postural control in young and older …
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 …
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 …

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 …
Driving is a complex cognitive-motor task that requires the continuous integration of multisensory information, cognitive processes, and motor actions. With higher age, driving …
Objective. Walking while simultaneously engaged in another activity becomes more difficult as one grows older. Here, we address the issue of changes in dual-task behavior at different …
Aim To examine the relationship between age and quality of standing balance in single and dual task conditions. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted using a sample of 243 …
