Until recently, gait was generally viewed as a largely automated motor task, requiring
minimal higher‐level cognitive input. Increasing evidence, however, links alterations in …

Previous studies suggest that strategies such as “posture first” are implicitly employed to
regulate safety when healthy adults walk while simultaneously performing another task …

Background. Gait is influenced by higher order cognitive and cortical control mechanisms.
Functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) has been used to examine frontal activation …

Background Computer-based interventions have demonstrated consistent positive effects on
various physical abilities in older adults. This study aims to compare two training groups that …

Accurate control of posture, balance, and locomotion through the environment involves a
coordinated set of sensorimotor processes that continually encode and compare information …

Background Recent work has demonstrated that fall risk can be attributed to cognitive as
well as motor deficits. Indeed, everyday walking in complex environments utilizes executive …

This systematic review and critical evaluation of the literature investigates whether advanced
age compromises obstacle crossing under unconstrained and time-constrained conditions …

To walk efficiently over complex terrain, humans must use vision to tailor their gait to the
upcoming ground surface without interfering with the exploitation of passive mechanical …

Objectives Mobile phone texting is a common daily occurrence with a paucity of research
examining corresponding gait characteristics. To date, most studies have participants walk …

Objective: This article presents the results of a systematic review of the latest, state-of-the-art
research on videogames designed for older adults (ie, those aged 65 or older) and the …
