Effects of biofeedback on trunk sway during dual tasking in the healthy young and elderly
Gait and Posture, 06/10/09

Verhoeff LL et al. - The authors examined the effect of biofeedback of trunk sway on balance control while walking and performing a simultaneous cognitive or motor task. Counting backwards ability significantly improved with feedback. Young participants were able to perform a dual task during gait and employ biofeedback to reduce trunk sway. Elderly participants were not able to reduce sway using biofeedback during the cognitive task but were able to reduce sway velocities with biofeedback during the motor task.
