Gait and Posture

Noninvasive brain and spinal cord neuromodulatory techniques hold strong potential as neural interfaces to support the recovery of gait function in individuals with neurological disorders. Transcutaneous spinal cord stimulation, in particular, is a promising approach for modulating spinal cord excitability and enhancing locomotor recovery in upper motoneuron lesions.

BACKGROUND: There is scientific evidence that older adults aged 65 and over walk with increased step width variability which has been …

Falls are the leading cause of unintentional injuries and hospitalizations among adults aged 65 and older. Even in the absence of physical injury, the psychological consequences—particularly the fear of falling—can significantly reduce physical activity, confidence, and overall quality of life.
