5. Study Description

Brief Summary
(1) postural and suprapostural performance of a dual task would be differently affected by the strategy of task prioritization and (2) the cortical activation is different according to attentional focus strategies.
Detailed Description
These hypothesis would be tested by gait performance, suprapostural accuracy and relative power spectrum of EEG.

Arm Description
During training, participants in this group are instructed to focus on their posture during weight-shifting.
Arm Title
Suprapostural
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
During training, participants in this group are instructed to focus on their suprapostural task during weight-shifting.
Intervention Type
Behavioral
Intervention Name(s)
Weight-shifting training
Intervention Description
Postural task: Participants are standing with their weak side on the force plate. During the task, they wight-shift from side to side ranging from 10 to 90 percent of their body weight. Suprapostural task: Participants hold a tray with their arms beside the body, 90 degrees of elbow flexion. They rotate the tray left and right for 45 degrees respectively. During their task, participants should weight-shift and rotate the tray at the same time.
