University of Copenhagen researchers have identified two areas of the midbrain that appear to play specific roles in the start, speed and content of dependent selection of locomotion in mice. 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
New insight obtained by studying the gait of cockroaches could provide valuable information on how biological systems stabilize. The research could help to develop more stable robots and provide doctors with better understanding on human gait abnormalities. Read More
Handgrip strength correlates with cognitive function, attention, and psychomotor function in older men. No association was found between muscle mass and cognitive function. Read More
Researchers reveal how our vesibular system reflects the story of our evolution, from sea to land. 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
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 new study reports on how the clinical profiles of Lewy body dementia differ from Alzhiemer's or Parkinson's disease. 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. 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
Slower walking speed may be associated with the development of mobility disorders later in life. Read More
A new study reports the way a person walks may reveal how aggressive they are. Read More
