Objectives
1) Examine the association between propensity for conscious processing of locomotion and locomotor muscle efficiency and walking stability of older non-fallers. 2) Examine the effect of different internal and external attention focus instructions on locomotor muscle efficiency and walking stability of older non-fallers. 3) Examine the effect of different internal and external attention focus instructions on locomotor muscle efficiency and walking stability of older fallers.
