Official title
Does Practice Beyond Performance Plateau Improve Motor Learning in Healthy Adults?
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This study contains two pilot studies: 1) one study will investigate practice dosage of a postural stepping task in healthy young individuals in order to determine an operational definition of performance plateau, and 2) the other study will investigate whether practicing beyond reaching a performance plateau improves learning of a postural stepping task in healthy older adults, compared to discontinuing practice immediately after reaching a performance plateau. The investigators hypothesize that the group that continues to practice beyond reaching their performance plateau will learn and retain the motor task better than the other group.
