Background: In addition to cognitive deficits, people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI)
can experience motor dysfunction, including deficits in gait and balance. Objective …

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

Background This systematic review provides an overview of the literature deducing
information about brain activation during (1) imagined walking using MRI/fMRI or (2) during …

Montero-Odasso M, Muir SW, Speechley M. Dual-task complexity affects gait in people with
mild cognitive impairment: the interplay between gait variability, dual tasking, and risk of …

Background With increasing age neuromuscular deficits (eg, sarcopenia) may result in
impaired physical performance and an increased risk for falls. Prominent intrinsic fall-risk …

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

Increased stride-to-stride variability during walking characterizes gait instability and predicts
falling in older adults. Walking while performing cognitive tasks (dual task walking) is also …

Background Previous studies have demonstrated that the performance of a secondary task
during walking alters gait. Objective This study investigated the effects of task prioritization …

Background: fear of falling (FoF) has great impact on functioning and quality of life of older
people, but its effects on gait and balance are largely unknown. Methods: we examined FoF …

This cross-sectional study investigated the age-related differences in dual-task performance
both in mobility and cognitive tasks and the additive dual-task costs in a sample of older …
