The results showed that individuals with stroke reduced their walking velocity and behavioral complexity before passing through the narrow aperture when approaching from the paretic side.

Kinematic and voice recordings were used to compute measures describing the dynamics of systems with multiple degrees of freedom and nonlinear interactions.

In the PD group, gait dynamics was associated with decreased dynamic divergence-lower instability-in the vertical axis. Postural fluctuations were associated with increased regularity in the anterior-posterior axis, and voice dynamics with increased predictability, all consistent with CR.

Parameters related to the Center of Pressure course over time were used to quantify postural stability. The simultaneous solution of mental rotation tasks has led to postural stabilisation compared to the neutral condition. Egocentric tasks provoked more postural stability than object-based tasks with cube figures. Furthermore, a more stable stance was observed for embodied stimuli than for cube figures.
