Cognitive-motor interference (CMI) is evident when simultaneous performance of a cognitive
task and a motor task results in deterioration in performance in one or both of the tasks …

Quantitative assessment is crucial for the evaluation of human postural balance. The force
plate system is the key quantitative balance assessment method. The purpose of this study …

An external focus of attention has been shown to result in superior motor performance
compared to an internal focus of attention. This study investigated whether this is due to …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of walking speed on the amount
and structure of the stride-to-stride fluctuations of the gait cycle. Based on previous findings …

Background and Purpose—In the Western world, the Bobath Concept or
neurodevelopmental treatment is the most popular treatment approach used in stroke …

The influence of attention on the dynamical structure of postural sway was examined in 30
healthy young adults by manipulating the focus of attention. In line with the proposed direct …

Conventional biomechanical analyses of human movement have been generally derived
from linear mathematics. While these methods can be useful in many situations, they fail to …

We analyze the irregularity of human postural sway data during quiet standing using the
sample entropy (SampEn) algorithm. By considering recent methodological developments …

Background Falls in frail elderly are a common problem with a rising incidence. Gait and
postural instability are major risk factors for falling, particularly in geriatric patients. As …

Following recent advances in the analysis of centre-of-pressure (COP) recordings, we
examined the structure of COP trajectories in ten children (nine in the analyses) with …
