Official Title: Modulating Brain Networks to Reduce Gait Variability in Older Adults at Risk of Falling
Brief Summary:
Walking is a complex and continuous task that entails repetitive motions of the body.Relatively high gait variability sensitively predicts falls and cognitive decline in older adults.Previous work has identified an unique brain network relationship linked to gait variability and its relevant cognitive function (i.e., sustained attention).This project aims to develop a non-invasive brain stimulation montage designed to modulate the shared brain networks dynamics and to demonstrate its effects on resting state…
