Recently, real time imaging of the cortical control of gait became possible with functional
near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). So far, little is known about the activations of various …

Although the existence of a central pattern generator system modulated by sensory
information has become broadly accepted in the control of gait, many findings indicate that …

While a detailed understanding of brain activity with hand movements has developed, less is
known about the functional anatomy of motor control for foot movements. Here we have …

Walking is a complex motor behavior with a special relevance in clinical neurology. Many
neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease and stroke, are characterized by gait …

Introduction In geriatric clinical diagnostics, gait analysis with cognitive‐motor dual tasking is
used to predict fall risk and cognitive decline. To date, the neural correlates of cognitive …

Since functional imaging of whole body movements is not feasible with functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI), the present study presents in vivo functional near-infrared …

This study examined the cortical control of gait in healthy humans using functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI). Two block-designed fMRI sessions were conducted during motor …

While we have a fair understanding of how and where forelimb–hand manipulative
movements are controlled by the neocortex, due to functional imaging studies, we know little …

The time it takes between consecutive foot contacts from the same leg is referred to as the
stride-time interval. Several investigations have shown that the variations that are present in …

Background Accumulating evidence suggests that gait is influenced by higher order
cognitive and cortical control mechanisms. Recently, several studies used functional near …
