Prefrontal and Motor Planning Cortical Activity during Stepping Tasks Is Related to Task Complexity but Not Concern about Falling in Older People: A fNIRS Study

This study investigated the effect of concern about falling on neural efficiency during stepping in older people. Community-dwellers aged >65 years were categorised as having low (<i>n</i> = 71) and high (<i>n</i> = 28) concerns about falling based on the Iconographical Fa...
