Automaticity is a hallmark feature of walking in adults who are healthy and well-functioning.
In the context of walking,“automaticity” refers to the ability of the nervous system to …

Safe locomotion is a crucial aspect of human daily living that requires well-functioning motor
control processes. The human neuromotor control of daily activities such as walking relies …

The concept of 'successful aging'has long intrigued the scientific community. Despite this
long-standing interest, a consensus definition has proven to be a difficult task, due to the …

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 …

Current research demonstrates increased learning rates in differential learning (DL)
compared to repetitive training. To date, little is known on the underlying neurophysiological …

This systematic review aims to (i) evaluate functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
walking study design in young adults, older adults and people with Parkinson's disease …

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 …

This review examined 83 articles using neuroimaging modalities to investigate the neural
correlates underlying static and dynamic human balance control, with aims to support future …

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

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