Effect of different residential settings on gait kinematic parameters in older adults with cognitive impairment
(2021-02-01)
Objective: To compare the parameters of gait kinematics of older adults with cognitive impairment who live in community dwellings or those living or spending most of the time in non-family environment settings. Methods: ...
Temporo-spatial gait parameters during street crossing conditions: a comparison between younger and older adults
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-02-01)
Most traffic accidents involving pedestrians happen during street crossing. Safe street crossing by older adults requires complex planning and imposes high cognitive demands. Understanding how street crossing situations ...
Is it possible to predict falls in older adults using gait kinematics?
(2018-11-01)
Background: Gait kinematic parameters have been reported as an important clinical tool to assess the risk of falls in older adults. However, the ability of these parameters to predict falls in the older population is still ...
Task difficulty has no effect on haptic anchoring during tandem walking in young and older adults
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-02-14)
This study assessed the contribution of the anchor system's haptic information to balance control during walking at two levels of difficulty. Seventeen young adults and seventeen older adults performed 20 randomized trials ...
Task demand effects on postural control in older adults
(Elsevier B.V., 2006-06-01)
The literature shows conflicting results regarding older adults' (OA) postural control performance. Differing task demands amongst scientific studies may contribute to such ambiguous results. Therefore, the purpose of this ...
A Cross-Sectional Study of the Relationship of Physical Activity with Depression and Cognitive Deficit in Older Adults
(Human Kinetics Publ Inc, 2016-04-01)
The aim of this study was to examine the association of physical activity with depression and cognition deficit, separately and combined, in Brazilian older adults. We analyzed data from 622 older adults. Physical activity ...
Haptic information provided by the anchor system reduces trunk sway acceleration in the frontal plane during tandem walking in older adults
(Elsevier B.V., 2015-11-16)
This study assessed whether the use of an anchor system benefited older adults who performed a tandem walking task. Additionally, we tested the effects of practice with the anchor system during walking on trunk stability, ...
Prefrontal Cortical Activity During Preferred and Fast Walking in Young and Older Adults: An fNIRS Study
(2021-10-01)
Age-related changes may affect the performance during fast walking speed. Although, several studies have been focused on the contribution of the prefrontal cortex (PFC) during challenging walking tasks, the neural mechanism ...
