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:

TL;DR: This self‐directed learning module provides an evidence‐based update of exercise‐based rehabilitation interventions to treat Parkinson disease (PD) and enhances the learner's existing practice techniques used to treat PD through exercise‐ based intervention methods.

Effect of cognitive task on postural control of the patients with chronic ankle instability during single and double leg standing
TL;DR: The findings confirm the effect of a concurrent digit-backwards memory task on single leg standing balance in chronic ankle instability patients but the response to cognitive loading was not significantly different between the injured and non-injured legs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical Oscillations during Gait: Wouldn't Walking be so Automatic?
TL;DR: It is now possible to record changes in cortical neural synchronization/desynchronization during gait, and time-frequency analysis enables to study induced changes in EEG activity in different frequency bands.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-of-day effects on postural control and attentional capacities in children.
TL;DR: The evaluation of changes in postural control of 5-6-year-old children using force plate measures is recommended in the middle morning or the late afternoon to avoid the post-awakening and thePost-prandial phases.

VR-Based Assessment and Rehabilitation of Functional Mobility
TL;DR: The advent of virtual reality as a tool for real-world training dates back to the mid-twentieth century and the early years of driving and flight simulators, where these simulation environments proved beneficial in the transfer of user-learned skills from the simulated environment to the real world.

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.
