First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at how older adults (65+) adapt their walking when one leg moves faster than the other on a split-belt treadmill. Researchers measured brain activity and balance to understand the link between automatic walking and mobility. The goal was to learn more about how aging affects walking adaptability, not to test a treatment.
