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 …

Objectives To provide an overview of the role of cognition in falls, with potential implications
for managing and preventing falls in older adults. Design Review. Setting Observational and …

Background The traditional evaluation of gait in the laboratory during structured testing has
provided important insights, but is limited by its “snapshot” character and observation in an …

This systematic review aims to (i) evaluate functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)
walking study design in young adults, older adults and people with Parkinson's disease …

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 …

Background Declines in gait parameters are common with aging and more pronounced in
tasks with increased executive demand. However, the neural correlates of age-related gait …

The aims of this systematic review were to investigate (1) real-time brain activity during DT
gait and balance,(2) whether changes in brain activity correlate with changes in behavioral …

The integrity of the frontal areas of the brain, specifically the prefrontal cortex, are critical to
preserve cognition and mobility in late life. Prefrontal cortex regions are involved in …

(1) Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) provides a useful tool for monitoring brain
activation changes while walking in adults with neurological disorders. When combined with …

Background Cognitive processes are required during walking to appropriately respond to
environmental and task demands. There are now many studies that have used functional …
