Novel attentional gait index reveals a cognitive ability-related decline in gait automaticity during dual-task walking

IntroductionGait automaticity refers to the ability to walk with minimal recruitment of attentional networks typically mediated through the prefrontal cortex (PFC). Reduced gait automaticity (i.e., greater use of attentional resources during walking) is common with aging, contributing to an increase...
