Older adults: mind your step!

Mazaheri, M. (2016). Older adults: mind your step!. Amsterdam: Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

In this thesis the attentional demands of walking are studied in relation to the first two components of the tripartite model, i.e. walking adaptability and balance control. In particular, this thesis focuses on the effects of age, adaptive stepping, and balance control on attentional costs of walking and on the effects of age on task prioritization during adaptive walking tasks while concurrently performing an attention-demanding cognitive task.
