Department of Human Physiology, 1240 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403 1240, USA
Phys Ther 86:269-81. 2006..The purpose of this case report is to describe 3 balance training approaches in older adults with impaired balance...
- Why does older adults' balance become less stable when walking and performing a secondary task? Examination of attentional switching abilitiesTeresa D Hawkes
Motor Control and Cognition Laboratory, Department of Human Physiology, University of Oregon, USA
Gait Posture 35:159-63. 2012..For our BIOA sub-group, gait velocity correlated negatively with performance on the switch condition (p=.036). This suggests that BIOA efficiency of attentional allocation in dual task settings should be further explored...
- Training-related changes in dual-task walking performance of elderly persons with balance impairment: a double-blind, randomized controlled trialPatima Silsupadol
Department of Human Physiology, 1240 University of Oregon, Eugene, OR 97403, United States
Gait Posture 29:634-9. 2009..Improved dual-task processing skills did not transfer to a novel dual-task condition. Results support Kramer et al.'s proposal that VP training improves both single-task automatization and the development of task-coordination skills...
