Walking while performing working memory tasks changes the prefrontal cortex hemodynamic activations and gait kinematics

BackgroundIncreasing evidence suggests that walking while performing a concurrent task negatively influences gait performance. However, it remains unclear how higher-level cognitive processes and coordination of limb movements are altered in challenging walking environments. This study investigated...
