🚨 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.14814... We used a bipedal hopping task to assess agility in middle to older-aged adults 🧓 Take home: Weaker quadriceps reduce hop length, while declining corticospinal tract function increases hop length variability 💪 🧠 @michploughman.bsky.social

Results from this study on hemodynamics in pre-frontal cortex regions in people with #MultipleSclerosis (MS) during regular & dual-task #gait suggest people with MS may have reduced gait automaticity & limited cognitive resources to respond to dual tasks. 🧠🔄 🧠📈 🧪 journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
This image shows details about the journal article linked in the post. The title of the article is, "Hemodynamics of the Frontopolar and Dorsolateral Pre-Frontal Cortex in People with Multiple Sclerosis During Walking, Cognitive Subtraction, and Cognitive-Motor Dual-Task", and it was published in the journal Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair.
