A new study reports our nervous systems are adept at altering the way we move so we expend the least amount of energy possible. Read More
A study of Parkinson's patients reveals neural activity alternates between the right and left sides of the brain as we walk. Read More
Coupling a non invasive brain computer interface with a virtual walking avatar may help those with gait disorders to regain control of their movements, a new study reports. Read More
Gait variability in older adults could be a predictor of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found higher gait variability was associated with lower cognitive performance and an accurate predictor of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers identify neuronal circuits in the spinal cord of mice which control the ability to produce alternating movements of the legs during walking. Read More
New research allows those with robotic controlled prosthetic legs to walk almost as fast as an able bodied person. Read More
A new study reports that embarking on everyday activities, such as doing the laundry or washing dishes, provides more benefit to people with Parkinson's disease than occasional strenuous activity in helping to control their symptoms. Read More
Researchers report the angiogenesis in the brain could be a cause of some of the intractable walking and balance difficulties associated with Parkinson's disease. Read More
A new study reports on a definitive link between gait and early changes in cognitive function in Parkinson's patients. Read More
A common game system camera could be used as an effective means of evaluating gait and walking problems in people with multiple sclerosis. Read More
A new study reports a connection between slowed walking speed and cognitive decline appears to arise in the right hippocampus. Researchers recommend older people may benefit if their doctors measure their walking speed and check for changes over time, which could be an early indicator of impending cognitive decline.

Researchers reveal how our vesibular system reflects the story of our evolution, from sea to land. Read More
