Using functional near‐infrared spectroscopy to measure prefrontal cortex activity during dual‐task walking and navigated walking: A feasibility study

While functional near‐infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) can provide insight into motor‐cognitive deficits during ecologically valid gait conditions, the feasibility of using fNIRS during complex walking remains unknown. We tested the process and scientific feasibility of using an fNIRS device to measure cortical activity during complex walking tasks consisting of straight walking and navigated walking under single and dual‐task (DT) conditions.
