DOI: 10.1002/brb3.2857
Abstract: Although there is research examining the demographic predictors of self‐estimated intelligence (SEI) in young adults, so far SEI in old age is little investigated. This study aims to examine the influence of additional variables such… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-017-4985-5
Abstract: This study investigated the impact of attention on the sensory and motor actions during postural recovery from underfoot perturbations in young and older adults. A dual-task paradigm was used involving disjunctive and choice reaction time… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-020-05751-9
Abstract: Recent research has shown that systematic postural adjustments occur during periods of manual motor imagery (MI), but the timing (anticipatory or reactive) and directionality (against or in the direction of arm extension) of these postural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00221-022-06309-7
Abstract: This study aimed to investigate age-related differences in electromyographic (EMG) responses to unexpected Achilles tendon vibration (ATV) perturbations while standing blindfold. ATV with variable and random duration (12-15 s) and rest periods (20-24 s) was applied on… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00405-020-06512-8
Abstract: Purpose Controversy exists as to whether auditory memory is modality-specific or not. To determine this, the study investigated the relation between the scores obtained on an auditory memory test with that obtained on a global… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00421-020-04319-3
Abstract: Introduction High-altitude ascent induces left (LV) and right (RV) ventricular adaptations secondary to hypoxia-related hemodynamic and myocardial alterations. Since cardiopulmonary decrements observed with aging (e.g., decreased LV compliance and increased pulmonary vascular resistance) may limit… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jbiomech.2017.10.019
Abstract: Transitory tasks, such as gait termination, involve interactions between neural and biomechanical factors that challenge postural stability and head stabilization patterns in older adults. The aim of the study was to compare upper body patterns… read more here.
