Introduction
Weight-shifting constitutes an important component of dynamic postural control, which refers to the ability to keep one’s bodyweight within the base of supportMost studies on learning-induced neural activation changes have focused on upper extremity tasksFunctional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a mobile neuroimaging method able to capture brain hemodynamics when in the upright position, albeit at a much lower spatial resolution than fMRIGiven the above gaps in the literature, we set out to investigate older adults’ ability to improve weight-shifting using a VR-game and whether these effects would be retained after a period without training. Additionally, we wanted to examine whether the effects of weight-shift training were maintained when cognitively distracted
