Attention and the control of posture and gait: a review of an emerging area of research
TLDR
New clinical assessment methods incorporating dual-task paradigms are helpful in revealing the effect of disease on the ability to allocate attention to postural tasks and appear to be sensitive measures in both predicting fall risk and in documenting recovery of stability.About:

Augmented Reality for Older Adults: Exploring Acceptability of Virtual Coaches for Home-based Balance Training in an Aging Population
Fariba Mostajeran,Frank Steinicke,Oscar Javier Ariza Nunez,Dimitrios Gatsios,Dimitrios I. Fotiadis +4 more
TL;DR: A first investigation of the acceptance of an AR coaching system for balance training, which can be performed at home, suggests that older adults find the system encouraging and stimulating, but usability of the entire AR system showed a significant negative correlation with participants' age.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postural stability in young healthy subjects - Impact of reduced base of support, visual deprivation, dual tasking.
TL;DR: In young healthy adults, base of support reduction increases COP displacements and vision particularly affects postural stability with feet together or dual tasking, potentially by enhanced lower limb stiffness.

Mobile brain/body imaging (MoBI): High-density electrical mapping of inhibitory processes during walking
TL;DR: Significant links between cognitive load and gait abnormalities are seen in a number of clinical populations and these MoBI technologies provide highly promising methods for gaining insights into the underlying pathophysiology.

The Effects of Age and Hearing Loss on Dual-Task Balance and Listening.

TL;DR: The cognitive and balance results suggest that YA were able to flexibly allocate their attention between tasks, whereas ARHL exhibited prioritization of posture over cognitive performance.

Effect of locomotor demands on cognitive processing

TL;DR: Channel-level event-related potential analysis demonstrated that it is feasible to extract reliable signals during long duration loaded walking, and source level activity and frequency analysis revealed that sensorimotor, parietal, and cingulate brain areas all contributed to the reduced P300 amplitude during dual-task walking.

The Timed “Up & Go”: A Test of Basic Functional Mobility for Frail Elderly Persons
TL;DR: This study evaluated a modified, timed version of the “Get‐Up and Go” Test (Mathias et al, 1986) in 60 patients referred to a Geriatric Day Hospital and suggested that the timed “Up & Go’ test is a reliable and valid test for quantifying functional mobility that may also be useful in following clinical change over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Predicting the probability for falls in community-dwelling older adults using the Timed Up & Go Test.
TL;DR: The TUG is a sensitive and specific measure for identifying community-dwelling adults who are at risk for falls and the ability to predict falls is not enhanced by adding a secondary task when performing the TUG.

Motor Control: Theory and Practical Applications
TL;DR: This text bridges the gap between research/theory and practice by focusing on the scientific and experimental basis of new motor control theories by specifically illustrating how recent findings and theories can be applied to clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
"Stops walking when talking" as a predictor of falls in elderly people.
TL;DR: This investigation investigated the usefulness of the sign “stops walking when talking” in predicting falls and found that some frail elderly patients stop walking when they start a conversation with a walking companion, presumably because walking demands attention and they stop when they are expected to do two things at once.

The Effects of Two Types of Cognitive Tasks on Postural Stability in Older Adults With and Without a History of Falls
TL;DR: Results suggest that when postural stability is impaired, even relatively simple cognitive tasks can further impact balance and suggest that the allocation of attention during the performance of concurrent tasks is complex.
