Overview

Experimental analysis demonstrates preserved feedforward control in aging adults, suggesting resilience in complex tasks.

Key Points

  • Motor performance remains effective in older adults during movement planning and execution under high demands.
  • Elbow velocity challenges do not induce performance differences in shoulder stabilization among age groups.
  • Feedforward control is preserved in older adults, while feedback control deteriorates, affecting precision.
  • Participants from three age groups maintained anticipatory muscle activity across varying movement conditions.
