Attention and the control of posture and gait: a review of an emerging area of research. (2002, background): “It has thus been hypothesized that these falls are not due to balance deficits in isolation, but to the inability to effectively allocate attention to balance in multi-task conditions [1,2,12].”
Postural Stabilization of Visually Guided Eye Movements (2006, background): “…have often been interpreted in terms of the competitive allocation of central processing resources to postural and suprapostural activities (e.g., Lajoie et al., 1993; Teasdale et al., 1993) and more generally, between two tasks being performed simultaneously (e.g., Abernethy, 1988; Navon &…”
About the structure of posturography: Sampling duration, parametrization, focus of attention (part II) (2012, background): “First, reaction time to sensory stimuli seems to be dependent on the difficulty of the postural task and proofs therefore indirectly the impact of attentional influences on postural processing resources [38, 39].”
Predicting falls within the elderly community: comparison of postural sway, reaction time, the Berg balance scale and the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) scale for comparing fallers and non-fallers. (2004, background): “Several studies have been successful in proving that younger subjects react significantly faster to a simple reaction task when compared to older adults (Gottsdanker, 1982; Lajoie et al., 1993).”
