DOI: 10.1016/j.conctc.2019.100398
Abstract: Walking is a common activity among older adults. Fallers were discovered to have a higher propensity to conscious motor processing (reinvestment) than age-matched non-fallers, leading to movement disruption, possibly by constraining or interfering with automatic… read more here.
