Age-specific walking speed during locomotor adaptation leads to more generalization across contexts.

This study shows that older adults generalize walking patterns more at slower speeds, while younger adults generalize more at faster speeds during locomotor adaptation.

Older adults generalize their movements across walking contexts more than young during gradual and abrupt split-belt walking

This study compares movement generalization in older and young adults during gradual and abrupt split-belt walking, finding older adults generalize more regardless of perturbation type.

High-human acuity of speed asymmetry during walking

This study assesses human perception of speed asymmetry during walking using a 2AFC task on a split-belt treadmill, finding 75% accuracy for 75 mm/s speed differences.

Cognitive and motor perseveration are associated in older adults

This study finds that cognitive and motor perseveration are positively related in older adults but not younger individuals, and that practice can reduce motor perseveration in older adults.

Motorized shoes induce robust sensorimotor adaptation in walking

This study shows that motorized shoes can induce locomotor adaptation similar to split-belt treadmill training, suggesting portable devices can study sensorimotor adaptation outside the lab.

Augmenting propulsion demands during split-belt walking increases locomotor adaptation in the asymmetric motor system

This study shows that increasing propulsion demands during split-belt walking enhances motor adaptation and symmetry in stroke survivors.
