- •
Reach to grasp balance responses were studied under non-spatial working memory loads.
- •
Fallers demonstrated slowed movement time and decreased grasp accuracy.
- •
Older adults resorted to non-specific reach direction compared to younger adults.
- •
Attention shifting should be explored as a balance rehabilitation strategy.
