[HTML][HTML] Embodiment in the aging mind
Bodily awareness is a central component of human sensation, action, and cognition. The
human body is subject to profound changes over the adult lifespan. We live in an aging …

Motor imagery and aging
A Saimpont, F Malouin, B Tousignant… - Journal of motor …, 2013 - Taylor & Francis
Motor imagery (MI) is the mental simulation of an action without its actual execution. It has
been successfully used through mental practice—the repetition of imagined movements—to …

Age-related changes in prefrontal activity during walking in dual-task situations: a fNIRS study
Background Previous studies suggest that the human gait is under control of higher-order
cognitive processes, located in the frontal lobes, such that an age-related degradation of …

Effect of mental fatigue on speed–accuracy trade-off
The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mental fatigue on the duration of actual
and imagined goal-directed arm movements involving speed–accuracy trade-off. Ten …

Motor imagery during action observation of locomotor tasks improves rehabilitation outcome in older adults after total hip arthroplasty
This study aimed at determining whether the combination of action observation and motor
imagery (AO+ MI) of locomotor tasks could positively affect rehabilitation outcome after hip …

Brain activation changes during locomotion in middle-aged to older adults with multiple sclerosis
Mobility and cognitive impairments are common in persons with multiple sclerosis (MS), and
are expected to worsen with increasing age. However, no studies, to date, in part due to …

Freezing of gait is associated with a mismatch between motor imagery and motor execution in narrow doorways, not with failure to judge doorway passability
BACKGROUND: Many patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) develop freezing of gait
(FoG), which may manifest as a hesitation or “getting stuck” when they attempt to pass …

Mental simulation of routes during navigation involves adaptive temporal compression
Mental simulation is a hallmark feature of human cognition, allowing features from memories
to be flexibly used during prospection. While past studies demonstrate the preservation of …
