The impact of cognitive-motor interference on balance and gait in hearing-impaired older adults: a systematic review

Author(s): Wunderlich A; Wollesen B; Asamoah J; Delbaere K; Li K;

Background: Hearing impairments are a rising burden in our aging society. Hearing loss is associated with reduced cognitive performance as well as decrements in balance and gait. Therefore, impaired hearing affects also dual tasking (DT). The aim of this re ...
