In addition to being a prerequisite for many activities of daily living, the ability to maintain
steady upright standing is a relevant model to study sensorimotor integrative function …

Safe locomotion is a crucial aspect of human daily living that requires well-functioning motor
control processes. The human neuromotor control of daily activities such as walking relies …

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 …

Different types of exercise training have the potential to induce structural and functional
brain plasticity in the elderly. Thereby, functional brain adaptations were observed during …

Dual-task designs have been used widely to study the degree of automatic and controlled
processing involved in postural stability of young and older adults. However, several …

Background. The relationship between mobility and cognition in aging is well established,
but the relationship between mobility and the structure and function of the aging brain is …

The lateral part of the mesopontine tegmentum contains functionally important structures
involved in the control of posture and gait. Specifically, the mesencephalic locomotor region …

Background: Gait disorders, a highly prevalent condition in older adults, are associated with
several adverse health consequences. Gait analysis allows qualitative and quantitative …

An emerging body of literature has examined cortical activity during walking and balance
tasks in older adults and in people with Parkinson's disease, specifically using functional …

Freezing of gait is one of the most debilitating symptoms in Parkinson's disease as it causes
falls and reduces mobility and quality of life. The pedunculopontine nucleus is one of the …
