Visuomotor control of complex locomotor tasks in physical and virtual environments

Discussion and conclusionResults suggest that the addition of a secondary task while walking impacts on the visuomotor control involved in complex locomotor tasks, as required for independent community walking, with larger alterations being observed in older vs. young adults. Future research will look at the effects of practice on gaze-body coordination in a dual-task walking activity.
