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:

Information presentation through a head-worn display ("smart glasses") has a smaller influence on the temporal structure of gait variability during dual-task gait compared to handheld displays (paper-based system and smartphone).
TL;DR: It is concluded that the risk of an adverse gait event in head-down walking conditions in dual- task walking using the paper-based system and smartphone conditions were higher than in single-task walking, and that head-worn displays might help reduce the riskof such events during dual-task gait conditions.

A critical evaluation of the cognitive penetrability of posture
John F. Stins,Peter J. Beek +1 more
TL;DR: It may be valid to study cognitive penetrability of posture, but that such an endeavor is served best by adopting a hierarchical model of action control.

Injection-related venous disease and walking mobility.
TL;DR: Walk mobility in relation to CVD for 713 individuals in methadone treatment was examined using a cross-sectional, comparative design that was stratified on age, sex, ethnicity, and drug use.

Effects of a multicomponent exercise on dual-task performance and executive function among older adults
TL;DR: The results suggested that a multicomponent exercise positively affects dual-task performance and executive function in the elderly.

Aspects of Dynamic Balance Responses: Inter- and Intra-Day Reliability.
TL;DR: Reliability of dynamic balance responses using the Posturomed reflected good overall reliability with the exception of certain intra-day comparisons in the anterior-posterior perturbation direction, which could indicate learning effects in those particular conditions.

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.

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.

"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.
