Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The Supplementary motor area (SMA) plays a role in locomotor control, postural control, and phasic postural adjustments. The purpose of this study was to investigate motor related cortices activation during dual-task walking. Walking speed was slower during dual-task walking compared with normal walking. The oxygenated hemoglobin levels in the SMA during dual-task walking was lower than during normal walking. The results indicate that SMA might contribute to the decline in gait capacity by dual-task walking.
