Healthy mind in healthy body? A review of sensorimotor–cognitive interdependencies in old age (2006, background): “Huxhold et al. [ 36 ] could show that young and older adults swayed less when they were concurrently performing an easy cognitive task relative to a single-task baseline, where the focus of attention was explicitly directed toward the postural control task itself.”
About the structure of posturography: Sampling duration, parametrization, focus of attention (part II) (2012, background): “In everyday life situations postural control seems to interfere with secondary or even more tasks and therefore investigations concerning BT pose an artificial concept [9,10].”
Motor control and aging: links to age-related brain structural, functional, and biochemical effects. (2010, neutral): “Older adults show greater performance decrements under dual-task (cognitive and motor) experimental designs than their younger counterparts (Brauer et al., 2001; Brown et al., 1999; Chen et al., 1996; Huxhold et al., 2006; Lindenberger et al., 2000; Lövdén et al., 2008; Maylor and Wing, 1996; Shumwa”
