Background Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is increasingly used in the field
of posture and gait to investigate patterns of cortical brain activation while people move …

An emerging body of literature has examined cortical activity during walking and balance
tasks in older adults and in people with Parkinson's disease, specifically using functional …

Background Declines in gait parameters are common with aging and more pronounced in
tasks with increased executive demand. However, the neural correlates of age-related gait …

Background Control of walking by the central nervous system includes contributions from
executive control mechanisms, such as attention and motor planning resources. Executive …

The integrity of the frontal areas of the brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, are critical to
preserve cognition and mobility in late life. Prefrontal cortex regions are involved in …

(1) Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) provides a useful tool for monitoring brain
activation changes while walking in adults with neurological disorders. When combined with …

As we age, there is a wide range of changes in motor, sensory, cognitive, and temporal
processing due to alterations in the functioning of the central nervous and musculoskeletal …

Background Cognitive processes are required during walking to appropriately respond to
environmental and task demands. There are now many studies that have used functional …

Positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)
studies have shown that healthy aging is associated with functional brain deterioration that …

This study aimed to explore and analyze research trends and frontiers on functional near-
infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) in the past 20 years and identify collaboration networks. fNIRS …
