Official Title: Influence of Attentional Control on Protective Arm Responses to Balance Perturbations in Older Adults and People with Peripheral Neuropathy
Brief Summary:
The overall objective of this study is to investigate the effect of attention control training on reach-grasp stabilizing responses during fall-induced perturbations.The central hypothesis is that training attention control during reach to grasp balance perturbations will lead to increased grasp accuracies and reduced in-task falls.This research will mark the first explore the effects of training attention control on protective arm responses and fall rate during a balance perturbation paradigm and the first…
