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 ...

Audiovisual integration in children with cochlear implants revealed through EEG and fNIRS

Author(s): Alemi R; Wolfe J; Neumann S; Manning J; Towler W; Koirala N; Gracco VL; Deroche M;

Sensory deprivation can offset the balance of audio versus visual information in multimodal processing. Such a phenomenon could persist for children born deaf, even after they receive cochlear implants (CIs), and could potentially explain why one modality i ...

Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and body composition to modest weight loss are similar in those with adult- versus childhood-onset obesity

Author(s): Lucas Guimarães Almeida

Adults who have had obesity from childhood are at greater risk of obesity-related comorbidities compared to those who only develop obesity in adulthood. The main way of mitigating these risks in obesity is with weight loss, which has been shown to positivel ...
