Investigating age-related differences in visual sampling behaviour during adaptive locomotion and their consequences for stepping accuracy
Older adults at a high-risk of falling (HROA) look away prematurely from targets they are stepping on in order to fixate future constraints in their walking path. This gaze behaviour is associated with decreased stepping accuracy. The first aim of this thesis was to investigate a possible causal lin...
