- The significant findings of this research proved that region and frequency-specific brain activity could predict gait stability in several commonly undertaken tasks whilst walking in an urban environment. These predictive relationships are of great value in the assessment of gait impairments in neurological populations and offer therapeutic targets in intervention trials. Vital result shows that the left posterior parietal cortex appeared crucially involved in gait stability during self-paced walking in the real-world and the type of secondary task undertaken is correlated to frequency-specific coding. The employment of measures of trunk acceleration to monitor gait during real-world situations were validated.
