Prediction and updating abilities in motor imagery during the Timed Up and Go task in young and older adults (2026) · The Journals of Gerontology Series B · doi
The study identifies a gap in the understanding of age-related differences in motor imagery. The study highlights the need for further research on the predictive and updating components of internal models in young and older adults. The study notes that previous research has not fully explored the relationship between motor imagery and fall risk in older adults.

Ballroom dance and balance ability in older adults: a serial mediation model of fear of falling and physical self-efficacy (2026) · Frontiers in Sports and Active Living · doi
Age-related physiological changes lead to balance decline, increasing fall risk. Fear of falling triggered by balance impairment further reduces physical activity participation. There is a need to develop effective nonpharmacological interventions to improve balance ability and reduce fall risk in older adults.

Future studies should investigate the neural mechanisms underlying age-related differences in motor imagery. Future research should examine the effectiveness of motor imagery training interventions for improving mobility and reducing fall risk in older adults. Future studies should explore the relationship between motor imagery and other cognitive and sensorimotor functions in older adults.
