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

In this paper we review the effects of aging on sensory systems and their impact on posture,
balance and gait. We also address cognitive aging and attempt to specify which altered …

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 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 …

Background An impaired ability to allocate attention to gait during dual-task situations is a
powerful predictor of falls. Objective The primary purpose of this study was to examine the …

Background: The aging of posture and balance function alters the quality of life in older
people and causes serious problems in terms of public health and socio-economic costs for …

Alzheimer's disease (AD) and behavioral variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (bvFTD) are
characterized respectively by atrophy in the medial temporal lobe with memory loss and …

Although gait‐related dual‐task interference in aging is well established, the effect of gait
and cognitive task difficulty on dual‐task interference is poorly understood. The purpose of …

When a cognitive and a motor task like walking or kee** one's balance are performed
concurrently, performance usually deteriorates. Older adults have often been shown to …

There is growing evidence linking hearing impairment to higher falls risk through alterations
in postural stability, with studies showing mixed results. The primary aim of this systematic …
