Background: Recent studies suggest that the human cerebral cortex is more active during walking than previously reported in the literature. The main evidences of the involvement of the cerebral cortex in human locomotion come from studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging. These studies have an important limitation: the participants were not, in fact, walking during the recordin…

The main consequence of the motor impairments of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the increased occurrence of falls. Falls cause severe complications, which can lead to death. In this way, the prediction of its occurrence seems to be important. Patients with PD demonstrate delayed recovery to stable position after an external perturbation that increases the risk of falls. The center of pressur…
Posture maintenance employs predictive and reactive mechanisms. People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) have difficulty in controlling posture and habituating to external perturbation, due to the deficits in the processing performed in brain structures involved in motor control, such as basal ganglia, Supplementary Motor Area (SMA), primary motor (M1) and pre-frontal cortices. Postural contr…
The gait behavior is strongly influenced by the aging process, characterized by decrease in gait velocity and step length, and increase in step width and double support time. Studies have shown increased in cortical activity during gait and the pre-motor and pre-frontal cortices are predominantly responsible for gait velocity control. Although previous findings demonstrate the role of the…

Introduction: To maintain an independent and mobile lifestyle we are often required to navigate complex and hazardous environments that present various visual, cognitive and motor challenges. The ability to visually perceive, cognitively process and formulate appropriate locomotor plans for navigation can be compromised both with ageing and in the presence of neurodegenerative disorders s…
Fear of falling is a disabling phenomenon common among patients with postural instability and gait disturbances (such as patients with Parkinson's disease), and also in elderly people who have previously fallen. Recent evidence in postural studies has found an increase in postural instability with increase in perceived anxiety in subjects (Carpenter et al., 2006). The purpose of the proje…
In the course of aging, some declines remarkably impair walking and balance. Referring to walking, aging can play an important role on gait kinematics changes that are caused by two main aspects: impairment on physical capacity and cognitive decline. Therefore, to achieve a higher performance during motor taks, these both conditions need to be fine. This is particularly true when subjects…
