Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Gerontology
  • Motor Control

Background:

  • Sensorimotor function changes with aging.
  • Bilateral upper extremity coordination in older adults is not well understood.
  • Existing evidence suggests age-related sensorimotor declines.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review behavioral and neural evidence of age-related declines in bilateral coordination.
  • To discuss the implications of these deficits on function and physical rehabilitation.
  • To highlight knowledge gaps in understanding age-related changes in non-symmetric bilateral movements.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of behavioral and neural evidence.
  • Analysis of age-related changes in symmetric and non-symmetric tasks.
  • Discussion of contributing factors: cognitive, sensory, and cortical changes.
  • Consideration of age-related changes in motor learning of bilateral movements.

Main Results:

  • Most age-related changes are observed in complex symmetric movements.
  • There is a lack of research on age-related changes in non-symmetric bilateral movements.
  • Cognitive, sensory, and cortical changes influence bilateral motor performance with age.

Conclusions:

  • Aging significantly impacts bilateral upper extremity coordination.
  • Further research is needed on non-symmetric movements for real-world functional implications.
  • Understanding these changes is crucial for effective physical rehabilitation strategies in older adults.
