Uneven terrain versus dual-task walking: differential challenges imposed on walking behavior in older adults are predicted by cognitive and sensorimotor function

This study examines how uneven terrain and dual-task walking affect walking speed in older adults, finding that sensorimotor function better predicts changes in uneven terrain walking speed than cognitive function.

Age differences in electrocortical dynamics during uneven terrain walking

This study examines age differences in brain activity during uneven terrain walking, finding greater gait variability and reduced cortical modulation in older adults.

Electrical Brain Activity during Human Walking with Parametric Variations in Terrain Unevenness and Walking Speed

This study measures electrocortical activity during walking on uneven terrain and varying speeds, finding distinct brain region responses to terrain difficulty and speed.
