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:

Attentional requirements of walking according to the gait phase and onset of auditory stimuli.
TL;DR: Dual-task costs were observed in both the motor and the cognitive tasks, suggesting that walking requires attention and time-based approaches should be considered when analyzing attentional demands of a dynamic task such as gait.

TL;DR: GZS is most improved in those who receive VR, but that TC improves WBS and FFS without improving GZS, suggesting patients with VSP can rely on non-gaze related mechanisms to improve postural control.

Factors influencing dynamic prioritization during dual-task walking in healthy young adults.
TL;DR: This study examines the effects of increased walking task difficulty on dual-task walking prioritization in healthy young adults and suggests that prioritization is dynamic and flexible.

Non-linear dynamics of human locomotion: effects of rhythmic auditory cueing on local dynamic stability.

TL;DR: It is suggested that LDS and statistical persistence should be used to evaluate the efficiency of cueing therapy in patients with neurological gait disorders.

TL;DR: There were no significant differences between the KATG and CPTG; both interventions provided positive effects on PC, gait, cardiorespiratory fitness, and cognition of the elderly.

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.
