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:

Journal ArticleDOI
Age-related differences in spatiotemporal markers of gait stability during dual task walking.
TL;DR: The gait changes observed in dual task walking characterize decreased gait stability and indicate that cognitively demanding tasks during walking have a destabilizing effect on gait and may place older people at a greater risk of falling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanisms underlying age-related differences in ability to recover balance with the ankle strategy
TL;DR: Differences in ability to recover balance between young and elderly women associate with variables related to strength and speed of response, and that exercise-based fall prevention programs should include balance and agility training, in addition to strength training.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human upright posture control models based on multisensory inputs; in fast and slow dynamics.
TL;DR: It is found that the study of the slow dynamics is lagging compared to that of fast dynamics, such that the understanding of long-term alterations is insufficient to reveal the underlying mechanisms and to propose suitable models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual-task-related gait changes in transitionally frail older adults: the type of the walking-associated cognitive task matters.
TL;DR: In this article, changes in gait patterns due to simultaneously performed cognitive tasks have been reported and associated with an increased falling risk among older adults, in both cognitive and non-cognitive tasks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recalibration of Inhibitory Control Systems during Walking-Related Dual-Task Interference: A Mobile Brain-Body Imaging (MOBI) Study
TL;DR: It is suggested that observed neural alterations under increasing task-load represent adaptive recalibration of the inhibitory network towards a more controlled and effortful processing mode, thereby optimizing performance under dual-task situations.

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.
