Just like performance in a magical act, walking adaptation is affected by age. As we grow older, the strength of the signals from our brain to our leg muscles decreases during walking, resulting in reduced adaptation compared to younger adults. Scientists conducted a study to explore how the contribution of these signals, known as corticospinal […]

They found that the […]
