This study investigated the influence of attention on the sensory integration component of
postural control in young and older adults. Eighteen young and 18 older healthy subjects …

The aim of this experiment was to examine if, with aging, the task of reintegrating sensory
information perturbs balance and requires additional attentional demand. Young adults and …

BACKGROUND: This study used a dual task design to examine the effect ofsensory context
on postural stability during the concurrent performance ofan attentionally demanding …

In older adults, cognitive resources play a key role in maintaining postural stability. In the
present study, we evaluated whether increasing postural instability using sway referencing …

Postural sway increases with age. The decreased stability associated with postural sway
often has been related to the reduced peripheral sensibility in the visual, vestibular, and …

A dual-task paradigm was used to determine the attentional demands of several postural
control tasks in 16 older women (age, 71.5±3.4 years) and 14 young women (age, 25.5±2.4 …

The aim of this work was to determine the effects of ageing on the possible mobilisation of
cognitive processes in orthostatic postural balance. Seventy-nine individuals of three …

Postural control during normal upright stance in humans is a well-learned task. Hence, it has
often been argued that it requires very little attention. However, many studies have recently …

Cognitive tasks impact postural control when performed concurrently as dual-tasks. This is
presumed to result from capacity limitations in relevant brain regions. We used functional …

Research reveals improvements in postural control when focus is placed on movement
effects rather than movement production, and further improvements during the performance …
