“…In previous studies, development of the direction specificities of APAs along the AP and ML directions was focused on GI tasks and suggested to vary (Assaiante et al, 2000;Blanchet, Prince, & Messier, 2019;Ledebt et al, 1998;Malouin & Richards, 2000).…”

“…This study suggested that backward control of APAs during GI appeared to mature earlier than the lateral control (Ledebt et al, 1998). Recently, Blanchet et al reported significant differences in the ML axis between 8 and 9-year-old children and adults, while these two groups performed similarly along the AP axis during a weight-shifting task (Blanchet et al, 2019). Therefore, the development of direction specificity of temporal and spatial postural control of APAs remains unknown.…”

“…We aimed to analyze anticipatory postural control development during GI in children aged 3-10 years by examining the temporal (latency of the COP shifts) and spatial components (amplitude of the COP shifts), coordination patterns (COP trajectory in the horizontal plane), and direction specificities of COP displacements before initiating gait. We made the following hypotheses: 1) direction specificity development is present, and APAs in the AP axis mature earlier than those in the ML axis (Blanchet et al, 2019;Ledebt et al, 1998); 2) the development process of temporal and spatial control, and coordination pattern of APAs varies, that is, the temporal and coordination controls of APAs take longer to mature than spatial control, and these controls are not yet fully achieved until at least 10 years of age (Barlaam, et al, 2012;Mani, et al, 2019;Palluel et al, 2008;Schmitz, Martin, & Assaiante, 2002).…”

“…We aimed to extend the ndings by Van Humbeeck et al ( 2023) by rst, distinguishing between anteriorposterior (AP)-and medio-lateral (ML) sway and second, by including middle-aged adults. The separation of AP and ML sway was motivated by recent studies indicating that during childhood and adolescence control of AP-sway proceeds at a faster rate and reaches adult-levels at an earlier age than ML-sway 34,35 . Likewise, studies suggest that control of ML-sway is more important for older adults because recovery from ML instability is more di cult than for AP-sway, and ML-sway has been associated to increased fall risk in older adults [36][37][38][39] .…”

We assessed lifespan development of multitasking in a sample of 187 individuals aged 8–82 years. Participants performed a visuo-spatial working memory (VSWM) task together with either postural control or reaction time (RT) tasks. Using criterion-referenced testing we individually adjusted difficulty levels for the VSWM task to control for single-task differences. Age-differences in single-task performances followed U-shaped patterns with young adults outperforming children and older adults. Multitasking manipulations yielded robust performance decrements in all component tasks. Presumably due to our adjustment of VSWM challenges, costs in this task were small and similar across age groups suggesting that age-differential costs found in earlier studies largely reflected differences already present during single-task performance. Age-differences in multitasking costs for concurrent tasks depended on specific combinations. For VSWM and RT task combinations increases in RT were the smallest for children but pronounced in adults highlighting the role of cognitive control processes. Stabilogram diffusion analysis of postural control demonstrated that long-term control mechanisms were affected by concurrent VSWM demands. This interference was pronounced in older adults supporting concepts of compensation or increased cognitive involvement in sensorimotor processes at older age. Our study demonstrates how a lifespan approach can delineate the explanatory scope of models of human multitasking.

“…A particular focus on medial‐lateral stability is necessary, given that it is a stronger predictor of fall risk compared to anterior–posterior stability (Piirtola & Era, 2006). It is also a useful measure of change over time, given the clear developmental trajectory that can be observed across childhood and into adolescence and adulthood (Blanchet et al, 2019).…”

Community‐based postural control assessment in autistic individuals indicates a similar but delayed trajectory compared to neurotypical individuals

Autistic individuals exhibit significant sensorimotor differences. Postural stability and control are foundational motor skills for successfully performing many activities of daily living. In neurotypical development, postural stability and control develop throughout childhood and adolescence. In autistic development, previous studies have focused primarily on individual age groups (e.g., childhood, adolescence, adulthood) or only controlled for age using age-matching. Here, we examined the age trajectories of postural stability and control in autism from childhood through adolescents using standardized clinical assessments. In study 1, we tested the postural stability of autistic (n = 27) and neurotypical (n = 41) children, adolescents, and young adults aged 7-20 years during quiet standing on a force plate in three visual conditions: eyes open (EO), eyes closed (EC), and eyes open with the head in a translucent dome (Dome). Postural sway variability decreased as age increased for both groups, but autistic participants showed greater variability than neurotypical participants across age. In study 2, we tested autistic (n = 21) and neurotypical (n = 32) children and adolescents aged 7-16 years during a dynamic postural control task with nine targets. Postural control efficiency increased as age increased for both groups, but autistic participants were less efficient compared to neurotypical participants across age. Together, these results indicate that autistic individuals have a similar age trajectory for postural stability and control compared to neurotypical individuals, but have lower postural stability and control overall. Lay SummaryAutistic and neurotypical children and adolescents performed a balance test and a body control test. Autistic participants had less stable balance than neurotypical participants. Autistic and neurotypical participants had less stable balance with their eyes closed and when wearing a dome on their head. Neurotypical participants had better body control than autistic participants. Autistic and neurotypical children had less stable balance and body control than adolescents.
