Measurements of stepping accuracy in a multitarget stepping task as a potential indicator of fall risk in elderly individuals

Elderly individuals who are at high risk for a fall generally exhibit increased gait variability, a decline in visuomotor control of foot movement, and cognitive impairment, particularly in executive functions. A new walking test, a multitarget stepping task, was developed in the present study to id...
