Training-related changes in dual-task walking performance of elderly persons with balance impairment: A double-blind, randomized controlled trial
The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of three different balance training strategies in an effort to understand the mechanisms underlying training-related changes in dual-task balance performance of older adults with balance impairment. Elderly individuals with balance impairment,...
