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:

Effect of Visual Information on Postural Control in Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Yi Huey Lim,Hoe Lee,Torbjörn Falkmer,Torbjörn Falkmer,Garry T. Allison,Tele Tan,Wee Lih Lee,Susan Morris +7 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that visual processing used for postural control may be different in adults with ASD and further research in visual field processing and visual motion processing may elucidate these sensorimotor differences.
Journal ArticleDOI
Distracting visuospatial attention while approaching an obstacle reduces the toe-obstacle clearance
TL;DR: Results demonstrate that visuospatial attention and the processes underlying obstacle crossing during locomotion interact in both a spatially and temporally dependent manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standing Posture on Land and at Sea
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of ship motion on postural activity during stance, varying stance width (the distance between the feet in side-by-side stance) and the difficulty of visual tasks was studied.

Increasing task complexity and ice hockey skills of youth athletes.
TL;DR: Results revealed decreased performance on both cognitive and physical measures with increased task complexity, suggesting that adding complexity to an environment influences hockey skill performance.

TL;DR: Higher stepping cadence associated with executive deficit supported the evidence of frontal lobe dysfunction related to impairment of basal ganglia and connections in frontal cortico‐basal ganglia loops in survivors of Czech methanol poisoning.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
