Identifying the impact of cognitive challenges on motor tasks in healthy younger and older adults could detect increased fall risk and lead to prevention strategies for at risk populations, such as the elderly or cognitively impaired. The impact on kinetics, kinematics, and spatiotemporal variability ...
We use a forward dynamics (i.e., relationship between muscle forces and the kinematics and kinetics of task performance) modeling approach to show that this assumption does not appear to be true in cycling (which was used as an example task in the target article). Our ...
