More automation and less cognitive control of imagined walking movements in high versus low fit older adults
Using motor imagery, we investigated brain activation in simple and complex walking tasks (walking forward and backward on a treadmill) and analyzed if the motor status of older adults influenced these activation patterns. 51 older adults (64-79 years of age) were trained in motor execution and imag...
