Stepping over obstacles: Attention demands and aging
, 2009 Older adults have been shown to trip on obstacles despite taking precautions to step carefully. It has been demonstrated in dual-task walking that age-related decline in cognitive and attentional mechanisms can compromise postural management. This is yet

Information presentation through a head-worn display ("smart glasses") has a smaller influence on the temporal structure of gait variability during dual-task gait compared to handheld displays (paper-based system and smartphone). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 The need to complete multiple tasks concurrently is a common occurrence both daily life and in occupational activities, which can often include simultaneous cognitive and physical demands.

Walking behaviour of healthy elderly: attention should be paid [PDF]
, 2010 Previous studies have reported an association between executive function (EF) and measures of gait, particularly among older adults. This study examined the relationship between specific components of executive functions and the relative dual task costs ...

Dual-Task Does Not Increase Slip and Fall Risk in Healthy Young and Older Adults during Walking
Applied Bionics and Biomechanics, 2017 Dual-task tests can identify gait characteristics peculiar to fallers and nonfallers. Understanding the relationship between gait performance and dual-task related cognitive-motor interference is important for fall prevention.

The Comparison of Dual-Tasking and Functional Fitness in Older Females [PDF]
, 2016 Context: America’s aging population is growing faster than ever, resulting in increasing challenges for healthcare providers and caregivers. Over 33% of adults aged 65 and older fall annually, and falls are the number one cause of injury-related death in

Coincidence Anticipation Timing Performance during an Acute Bout of Brisk Walking in Older Adults: Effect of Stimulus Speed [PDF]
, 2015 This study examined coincidence anticipation timing (CAT) performance at slow and fast stimulus speeds before, during, and after an acute bout of walking in adults aged 60–76 years.

The performance of stroke survivors in turning-while-walking while carrying out a concurrent cognitive task compared with controls. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Turning-while-walking is one of the commonest causes of falls in stroke survivors. It involves cognitive processing and may be challenging when performed concurrently with a cognitive task. Previous studies of dual-tasking involving turning-while-walking
